Binge Drunk Britain: The Musical
Paul Dodgson
December 5, 2008
Paul Dodgson's drink-sodden comic odyssey tells the story of a man's attempt to get home to his wife, in Newport, after a lads' night out in Bristol.
It is the early hours of Saturday morning and Oddie, having kissed goodbye to his wife, Penny, and abandoned the flatpack he was meant to be assembling, finds himself in a most peculiar situation. Along with his mates, Tank and Shave It, he wakes up at Severn Bridge services, face down in a bowl of salad. Gradually, it all comes back to him: the night out in Bristol that had begun so well; the rounds of lager with vodka chasers; the stories; the laughs; the white bare legs and tottering heels; and the traffic cones on heads. But, after an incident at Psycho's Kebab Shop and a run-in with the law, the trio found themselves without jackets or wallets at a subterranean nightclub, where Shave It started behaving in a very strange way.
When Oddie eventually arrives back home in Newport, at dawn, he finds that all is not quite as he left it.
