Our Story

Peterborough Central Library, Saturday, May 27

For central Peterborough residents, a drop-in day of dancing, drama, and dressing up including a chance to join in with a performance of the Jungle Book. All activities are completely free (exclusive to residents of central Peterborough). THERE’S no honour amongst gangsters who seem to keep their brains down the barrel of a gun. With geezers tooled up with shooters, strippers, and a testosterone storm, this is another of those gutpunch stories from former Krays’ associate Bernard O’Mahoney who’s done nicely out of writing and producing films of his books about the so-called Essex Boys. The only way in Essex to get to the top of the crims’ league in the 90s was utter ruthlessness, and after the shotgun slayings in a Range Rover parked on a country lane of three kingpin hoodlums, a vacuum opened up. So, in a world of sleazy strip clubs, hard men, drugs and dodgy deals, Damo Alvin (George Russo), Dean Boshell (Sam Strike), Ricky Percival (Josh Myers) and Malcolm Walsh (Martin Delaney) muscle their way in. Percival, a hairtrigger hothead establishes leadership of this motley crew with (he thinks) Alvin covering his back. But Alvin is using relative weakling Boshell, who owes him a favour from prison, to plot against Percival. Chris Ellison plays the dogged cop DI Trent who is determined to put them behind bars, but there’s an unfortunate echo of The Bill’s Burnside in his performance. In a far cry from Albert Square’s Johnny Carter, Strike is to appear in forthcoming horror Leather face.

Leatherface is a prequel to which horror classic? Entries to Alex Gordon, Bonded comp by June 2.
