Set in the Bronx, Chicken is a gritty play full of street-smart humour
about two childhood pals, Wendall and Floyd, an unhappy wife - and a
sickly rooster they are grooming for an illegal cockfight.
Wendall (Craig Kelly, Coronation Street, Queer as Folk) and his pregnant
wife Lina (Lisa Maxwell, Loose Women, The Bill) live in a stifling and
cramped apartment, full of the mess of desperate people. Floyd (George
Georgiou, Mamma Mia!-The Movie) is kipping down on the sofa, and a visit
from his father (Andy Lucas), his brash ex wife (Amy Tez) and the local
hustler (Daniel Yabut), clearly shows what an unstable upbringing and a
burning desire for money can do – but will the cock be their meal
ticket?
Chicken is an acute observation of modern life in the city, as the
dysfunctional friends scrabble and strut like cocks, fighting in the
grimy, slightly desperate world they inhabit. There is no working class - this is the world of the new underclass.
