Shady Business

A brilliant criminal farce by Robin Hawdon, where nobody tells the whole truth, time slips away relentlessly, and one bed becomes the center of mafia chaos.

In the elegant apartment of an influential gangster, a group of people meet - connected by chance, or by a very carefully planned scheme. Big Mack runs businesses best left unquestioned, Terry the Razor happily solves problems by force, Marry tries to control the chaos, and Tania grows increasingly impatient with the men around her. The situation becomes even more complicated when the mysterious Laura appears - an attractive, intelligent woman who is far too confident for a chance acquaintance. What seems like an innocent dinner quickly spirals into a cascade of misunderstandings, suspicions, and increasingly absurd lies.

Disguises, false identities, financial scams, and romantic entanglements create a mixture that gives the audience no moment of rest. Everyone pretends to be someone else, one small lie leads to another, and when big money, love, jealousy, and fear of exposure enter the game - chaos is guaranteed.
