Jez Butterworth’s wonderful, rollicking dark comedy took London and Broadway by storm.

It is May Day and a motley assortment of friends gather in a wood in rural Wessex lured by the possibility of free booze and drugs.

This is where charismatic Johnny 'Rooster' Byron lives, in a mobile home from which he is about to be evicted. He is a waster and modern day Pied Piper who was once a famous motor cycle stunt rider, Magic and mayhem ensue. It is comic, bawdy, and outrageous and by the end you almost believe in the mystical power of giants.
