Lesley Saint-John

Inspired by Stephen Sayers' rise from the backstreets of Newcastle's West End to the top of the criminal ladder and the authorities subsequent attempt to bring him crashing back down again.

A musical drama-comedy: 'Bonny' arrives at a sea-side town's renowned Chip Shop in search for work, only to find the chippy and it's long time employees on the brink of sinking completely. They're in debt and a slimy, vape-sucking 'Mr Green' threatens to buy the place and chop it up into holiday cottages for the tourists. Bonny overcomes her lack of self confidence and, with the help of the colourful chippy ladies and some smelly wet batter mix, rejuvenates the chip shop to it's original beating heart of this once bustling, sea-side community. Bonny Chip is told entirely through an original garage/folk musical score.
