“Not for the easily offended!”
Synopsis
Foul-mouthed mother-from-hell Karen Matthews is fed up being a nobody, until she hatches a cunning plan for a shot at the big time. Henpecked common-law husband Craig Meehan seems to have an unhealthy obsession with his laptop. Borderline special needs uncle Michael Donovan just wants a bit of company and a couple of quid for some baccy. Stereotypical Yorkshire copper D.I. Radgitt faces a race against time to unravel the web of lies and find the missing girl, Shannon Matthews, aged 9. This is Shannon Matthews: The Musical, an irreverent, potty-mouthed, black comedy romp through one of the most bizarre news stories of this century.
