STICKSHAPES is a dark comedy about survival on a Council estate. Aged 25, Kevin has never had a proper job. Abandoned by his mother at birth, he loses his father at age 18. He loses his girlfriend after an argument about the R word, and his best-mate is losing his mind (not that he’d ever been in possession). Kevin is stitched-up by the police and dropped in it with the estate gang. Trying to be cruel to be kind, the local housing officer gets it half-right and threatens eviction.
The stories of the best-mate and the housing officer are also told. Their stories are also stories of survival, but more a fight for the survival of their identities. Kevin already knows who he is. But he’s not got much going for him, except the ability to duck and dive - and great-uncle-Tommy’s black-and-white baccy.
