The Jolly Boys Last Stand
Synopsis
By day, Anthony Dale, is a mild mannered, thrusting young sales executive with a sunny future.
By night, he is "Spider" El Presidente of the Red Lion Pub Jolly Boys Association where women and work are strictly out of bounds.
But Anthony is bored of the jokes and tired of the hangovers so he proposes to Annie, an upwardly mobile girl from out of town and asks best mate Des to be his Best Man.
Anthony knows if he can persuade Des to follow his example and settle down, the rest of the Jolly Boys will surely follow.
But with the prospect of spending the rest of his life playing golf and doing DIY, Des has other ideas . . .

Set in present day London, Love Towmorrow is the story of an ex-ballet dancer whose life is turned upside down after receiving devastating news about her fiancé Dominic. Wandering the underground in a torment of pain and anger, a chance encounter with a charismatic Cuban ballet dancer, Oriel offers a temporary distraction. Oriel overlooks her engagement ring and suggests she spends some time with him. Why she follows this insistent stranger is unclear, and why he tolerates her reserve, mood swings and outright hostility is also unclear. But as the night lengthens, the frustrations, secrets and wounds of their lives begin to emerge and a fragile friendship promises to turn into something more profound as they face the most serious dilemmas of their lives.
