Sun Trap

Synopsis:
Alan Fairley is selling a dream. A gambler who has battled back from divorce and bankruptcy to solvency and sunshine, today he stands at the eighteenth tee and on the brink of a fortune in Spanish property dealing. He's the man with the plan. An ex-pat Geordie living in Tenerife with his younger girlfriend Stephanie, they're living the good life. He has the gift of the gab and an eye for an opportunity. they're sharing the sun with fellow Geordies, Don and Paula, who have finally left North East suburbia for Tenerife, after being persuaded by Alan. Don's the salesman for Alan's scheme, but the pair are at each other's throats. Selling the plots off-plan, the money should be rolling in, but there's trouble in paradise. Lurking beneath the sunny surface are emotions as dark as any rainy night in the North East, and as Don and Alan play a high stakes golf game, there is more riding on the last hole than money. A perfectly-crafted, funny and touching play from the writer of Gala's successful productions Beamish Boy (2007) and Get Off at Gateshead (2008), this brand new play builds on the themes of North East culture, missed opportunities and the enduring strength of relationships. Wish you were here?
