The Winterling

Comedy-drama written by Jez Butterworth.

"The Winterling is a darkly comic drama built on a myriad of startling characters and an unrelenting barrage of rapid-fire wit. "I like London. I like pavements. I like to walk out the door and not sink up to my tits in primordial sludge. I don't like trenchfoot. I don't like sheep. I don't like the country. It's covered in sh*t."
