Walker Holt has big dreams for his tailor shop. But he faces a massive challenge. He must complete a difficult order in just 24 hours.

As the night progresses, the pressure builds. The trousers start to unravel, and so do Walker’s relationships. Tensions rise. Friendships are tested. Walker must decide what he’s willing to sacrifice for success.

Lynette Linton (Blues for an Alabama Sky, Shifters) directs Michael Abbensetts’ (Sweet Talk, Empire Road) powerful drama. With new material by Trish Cooke, the production is bigger than ever.

This updated version celebrates Abbensetts’ award-winning work. It explores the Guyanese experience in 1970s London. The play highlights the hopes and sacrifices of the Windrush generation.
