Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Directed by John Byrne, based on his acclaimed play of the same title, this is the story of three lads in the paint-mixing department of a Paisley carpet factory, all with their own dreams. For Phil it is the chance to escape to art school to realise his artistic ambitions; for Spanky it is the promised land of America where Elvis is King; and for speccy Hector it is Lucille, the factory vamp. And as the annual staff dance with its talent spot draws close, so their desires and ambitions are brought to a head.
