Directed by Kirstin McLean | Cast - Alan Orr, Lola Aluko and Steven Wren
The people you meet at Opening Time in the pub are very different from those who are still there at closing time… An OLD GUY (let’s call him The Ghost), locked-down too long, finds himself shouting at the contestants on Tipping Point, and weeping during The Repair Shop, but then it’s Opening Time! He goes to the pub and meets an array of characters… A story told in song, which wonders what The New Normal might look like…
