Polly Coco & Co. Presents
HOOKED - The Addictive New Musical
Edinburgh Fringe '09
From the team behind legendary Guinness and Bacardi commercials alongside
Max Kinnings, Rik Mayall’s writing partner.
Young, charming PR ace, Ben, goes off the rails under the dual pressures of work and the prospect of a young family. HOOKED is a real eye-opener for middle England on how drugs and the underworld permeate everyday London life. As Ben’s addiction gets the better of him, his wife, Emma, who is desperate to save their marriage, is ultimately driven away, leaving him to pursue a tragically doomed relationship with naïve, eastern European lap-dancer, Monique.
Ben’s hand is finally forced as events spiral out of control but the chaos and damage he has caused are immense and although this is a story of redemption, Ben and those around him will bear the scars and reminders forever…
