Stump

Black farce from the author of Kelly + Victor and Sheepshagger.

A newcomer has arrived in a small Welsh seaside town - a one-armed Liverpudlian. Seeking to rebuild his life, if not his body, he is attempting to lead a life here unlike any he’s lived before- a normal one - shopping, gardening, signing on, visiting friends, all the usual diurnal activities.

Over a hundred miles to the north, however, two men in shellsuits are leaving Liverpool, heading south in a rickety old car. They have been sent by their gang-boss to wreak terrible, violent revenge, but have only a rough idea of their quarry- a one-armed man, maybe living somewhere in west Wales, in a small town by the sea.
