‘You’ve got to talk to them son. Listen to them. Look for a way in. You’re a handsome bloke – they’ll love you. Give me a year and I’ll teach you everything I know.’
Selling stilettoes in Romford Market is an art, a game and gladiatorial. Master it and you’re loaded. Mess it up, and it’s good night Vienna. You have to learn the patter, the stock, and the wind-ups. Welcome to the loud and lairy world of Essex traders in the mid 80s. Market Boy is a vast, spectacular fable, part cautionary tale and part celebration of a vibrant community at a time when there was no such thing as society.
Thursday 21 November – 7pm (Mayor’s Charity Performance)
Friday 22 November – 2.30pm & 7pm
Saturday 23 November – 4pm
