Drama on One: The Honeysuckle Smasher

drama on one Image Name: drama on one
With Joe Hanley, Bernadette McKenna and Paul Tylak. Martin “the Smasher” presides at demolition derbies on inner-city building-sites, but behind the wrecker’s ball, there’s a gentle giant who’s a total softie. How will the awkward bachelor negotiate the sudden death of his mum and the slow onset of his own retirement, the more so when he learns that the old lady confided more in a social worker on the telephone than in her only beloved son? With Joe Hanley, Bernadette McKenna and Paul Tylak, THE HONEYSUCKLE SMASHER is a touching watercolour of private grief and private grace.
