During a long hot summer the smouldering tensions in Britain's Northern towns are being reignited by fear and paranoia. Racial hatred is nothing new to the residents of Victory Street: one of them fled from Nazi Germany; another was witness to the bloody partition of India. But this is a new threat made all the more real because it comes from within the community.

An ensemble cast brings to life the novel by Richard MacSween in a stunning piece of visual theatre. Dissecting the dark heart of Britain, this is a tale of a community searching for its identity, a people struggling to live together.
