description: Errol Oldfield is under pressure, from the past and from his present actions, his fantasies and sexual jealousies, the drinking, the paranoia, his very personal demons.Dirty Laundry is set in the contemporary North East, in the space between town and country. Errol works part-time in the shabby Thrifty Miss Betsy discount shop and supplements his income by raiding the till and salmon poaching. He spends all his money on the sexy divorcee Maxine, Desdemona of the thrift stores, his obscure object of desire. But Maxine's mind is on other things, not least the star striker for the city's premiership football team. She's the goal machine's secret good luck charm.A unique modern comedy of sex and crime, Dirty Laundry is also an impressionistic tale of memory, madness and abuse.
