A triumph of heart over money, laughs and tragedy, dreams & the significance of always having £10 in yer pocket.
If you treat it as a play, you'll get far more from the experience of the characters, themes, settings & riotous humour, the latter of which is always beautifully timed.
Mr Meadows went on to much bigger things, but it crystallizes here as a bunch of Notts, sorry Sneinton, chancers and dancers flirt with something like Sillitoe meets Cassavetes meets Chris Morris.
Anyone who complains about the daft wigs is clearly missing the point of how well this story is told. I first watched it off Mansfield Rd on tape and its anarchy was a contagious sign of the times for the city and its reputation for gun crime & organized professional networks. Small Time gives 2 fingers up to it all, its very very funny and thats why i love it. It still hints at what was to come with later productions but this is completely raw, silly, sad,,,,,just like life. Gerrit daaaan yer duck.
