She meets Hector the Metro Link Inspector on Uniform Dating.com who promises her and her dysfunctional family a holiday of a lifetime …… to Chorlton … on the tram! A hilarious look as cultures collide where Hummus of the week meets donner and chips! For more information contact email Rob Lees -rob@madtheatrecompany.co.uk
