2015 Edinburgh Fringe

A barrister, who regrets not using his hard-won legal eloquence to better effect in his younger years, and an entrepreneur bird seed seller, who struggles to appreciate Christmas cracker jokes out of season. They meet by luck more than judgement in a cheerless cell almost within sight of Epping Forest. In this witty two-hander by the creator of Rumpole of The Bailey, set in a time when the practice of law was somewhat opaque and seldom straightforward, Al Duncan and Cian Llewellyn play the disheartened pair who take courage from their situation.
