| Description |
The Trade is a bleakly comic insight into the humdrum lives of your common or garden variety house painters. Steve, Stu and Gav paint houses for a living. Steve is already immersed in disappointment but won’t admit it. Stu’s got a mean streak and his love of modern art seems incongruous. Gavin is not the sharpest knife in the drawer but has a great memory for trivia. At 28 his parents insisted that he move out of home so he moved around the corner … Three men thrashing out their differences between coats of paint and cups of tea. |
