The grit, humour and courage of ordinary people in the bleakest of circumstances. Darkly comic, poignant and sometimes devastating monologues on BBC FOUR about life in poverty with music composed by client Sayan Kent

The first one in the series I’D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THE MANAGER is written by the writer of DERRY GIRLS, Lisa McGee.  An evening out takes a dark turn in this exploration of misunderstanding across the class divide. Set in Northern Ireland, and starring Saoirse- Monica Jackson, McGee’s tensely comedic monologue asks us to confront prejudice and a lack of empathy, instead recognising a shared humanity no matter what our life experiences.

The series is broadcast on BBC FOUR on Sunday 20 March and Sunday 27 March from 22:00 and is produced by Carolynne Sinclair Kidd at Hopscotch Films Ltd.
