Synopsis

How well do you know the person living next door? A community council meeting is underway. A new video shop has been proposed. It is up to six individuals to vote on its construction. But are people's minds fully on the availability of the latest DVD release? An OAP, a student, businessman, secondary schoolteacher, house husband and a trainee nurse draw the battle lines.

The world premier of David Hutchinson's new farce explores a village divided by their traditional values on race, sexuality, age and gender. As the mêlée rages, the vote becomes nothing to do with the video shop and everything to do with who comes out on top.
