Synopsis
One day, in 1983, possibly around July time, late of an evening, around seven, a minor dispute over a night light escalates into an epic, not quite so epic, fallout between neighbours in a not so far away quaint English village. The tale is dark and surreal. The events did not happen. They are merely based on other events of similar ilk.
Production Notes
The Not so Great Fallout of 1983 marked The Fringe Files' return to touring theatre, earning four award nominations and introducing Seb Webber in his first production with the company.
