No Surrender

Written by Alan Bleasdale, No Surrender takes place at The Charleston in Liverpool, a seedy nightclub run by the local gangland boss. The new manager has arrived and his predecessor, a practical joker, has left a host of atrocious cabaret acts for the New Year's Eve bash. A band that can't play, a magician with a dead rabbit and, to top off the night, two coach parties of rival OAPs arrive, one devout Catholic social club complete with a drunken blind ex-boxer, and an equally boisterous group of Protestant revelers. When they get together mayhem ensues...

Includes a Making No Surrender documentary, featuring interviews with director Peter Smith and producer Mamoun Hassan.
