‘Pirates these days, not what they used to be, eh?’

Bruce is a loveable nineteen year old tech nerd who lives with his nan and has never had a proper girlfriend. When the girl of his dreams drifts out of his periphery and slap bang into his orbit, it sets Bruce off on a path to discovering Silk Road and how to buy drugs online.

‘Thing about Silk Road is freedom’

This sharp, one man coming-of age-story explodes with a variety of larger than life characters, including Bruce’s typical Geordie matriarch nan, sleazy local gangsters and bouncers with a penchant for amateur dramatics, all whilst on a quest to make a mark on his corner of the dark web.

Live streamed from The Wardrobe Theatre, buckle in for 50 minutes fuelled by pure cocaine, ABBA and tea cosies.

Presented in association with Sayle Screen Ltd.
