The Aspidistra Code (NHB Modern Plays)

A sinister but comic drama of honour and violence, from the award-winning author of Howie the Rookie.

Brenda and Sonia are head-over-heels in debt. They fear the arrival of Drongo, a violent and unpredictable loan-shark. But Brendan's brother Joe has hired protection in the person of Crazy Horse. Turns out the two hard men are old mates and the crisis seems averted - until Drongo's code of honour is called into question and violence threatens once more.
