Damned, Damned, Damned

Frank Cottrell Boyce's series of plays about the punk generation 30 years on continues with the story of Mick, a former-bouncer-cum roadie.

Based on the fictional premise that in March 1977 punk band the Adverts performed a gig in Camberley to an audience of 27 people.

Over 30 years later, someone is trying to bring those 27 people back together again for a reunion

Mick worked in 'personal security' for rock and pop bands until an unfortunate incident with an over-enthusiastic fan saw him jailed for violence.

As part of his battle to come to terms with what he has become, Mick has been trying to mentor a volatile young prisoner.

The invitation to the reunion arrives, throwing his thoughts back to his young self and deeply unsettling him. He remembers that night in 1977 as the best night of his life.

Then he receives a letter from Muttley who was also there that night...
