“The world’s my oyster, I could be anywhere - Bolton, Blackburn, Burnley…”

Way out west, on the edge of England, the sun is setting on the last scrapyard in town.

It’s Friday night and time for a pint for Ken and his loyal apprentices Morse,“Fleetwood’s answer to Jack Kerouac, if anyone’s asking” and Ryan, who just wants a smile from the girl at the bus stop.

But a storm is brewing, and the thunder of bulldozers grows closer.

And then, Carlsberg in one hand, Jimmy Choos in the other, Jodie turns up…

Scrappers is a funny and tender story of diamonds in the rough, where a little bit of magic sparkles under the rusting tangle of modern life.

Scrappers will be directed by Resident Director Matthew Xia and designed by the 2013 winner of the Playhouse Studio/LIPA Design Prize.
