Harry runs a small pub in Oldham. Here, he has become a local celebrity. But what does it mean to be known as England’s second best executioner, if hanging has just been abolished? Among sensation seeking reporters and flattering regular customers who are all excited to hear Harry’s reaction, a stranger is lurking – he has his own personal and deathly motive with his visit. It is both a malicious black farce with a supercilious dialogue and a proper homage to Joe Orton and the early Harold Pinter.
