Hard Feelings by Doug Lucie at Finborough Theatre

Defibrillator presents Hard Feelings, by Doug Lucie, directed by James Hillier, at Finborough Theatre, a 50-seat fringe venue near Earl's Court, west London, from 11 June to 6 July 2013.

Brixton, April 1981, and tensions mount. In the safety of their home a group of Oxford University Graduates barely notice what's happening on the streets outside as police and rioters clash, shops are looted and buildings set on fire. In both worlds there is a fight for rights... a fight for respect...a fight for control. Who will win? Who will lose? Who will make the strongest cocktail? And when the dust finally settles the question remains... Will things ever change?
