Synopsis

Latte-land. Organic boxes, box sets, converted Victorian maisonettes... Power prams clog up the pavements while a family are rushed to hospital with festival fatigue... A work-shy writer is having some work done on his flat while his long suffering girlfriend is away on work. What will be left when the dust settles? Do Walls absorb all the lives lived inside them?

From previous Perrier award-winner Will Adamsdale comes this middle class musical about all the important things in life; composting, learning Spanish, floundering relationships and, most of all, knock-throughs.

When a third-sector worker, Fi, leavers her writer-cum-procrastinator boyfriend, Guy, to "site manage" the knock-through in their Victorian flat he is keen to avoid his own work (writing scripts for children's television) by helping the builder, Rob, with his work. When he pulls back the first strip of wallpaper, however, he is shocked to find a Victorian in the wall.

Rob seems to think this is a fairly common occurrence and happily continues his building work/reflections on his high-brow cultural experiences. For Guy, though, Mr Elms' status as a bona-fide Victorian has an improving influence upon him and his slipshod freelancing ways.
