Set in Coatbridge back in the days when ducking and diving was the norm, The Tar Factory tells the tale of one Tar Squad and their leader, Mad Dog, as they scam their way through each day, working for booze money and enough extra to keep their long-suffering wives off their backs, we see Mad Dog’s schemes blossom and then fail with deadly consequences. Based on the book of the same name, by Alan Kelly, the patter of a working class road gang is funny, at times crass, but always honest and authentic.
This is a play not to be missed.
