About this event

'A darkly comedic psychological thriller'.

Abalone’s desperate, he’s taken a day of holiday from the poultry farm to commit armed robbery. Now he has Eve, a local vicar, stuffed into the boot of his classic car. Check-in with us at The Last Motel, a few miles outside of Barnsley (South Yorkshire not Kentucky), to see if Abalone’s hostage changes his perspective on life.
