'We're cosmic scallies, we dance on the off-beat, we're wonky shopping trollies, we're forgotten and trod on, we're gravy-stained and piss-sodden, we're the breath between coughing fits.' Shaun and Dent grew up best friends on the same council estate in Skelmersdale. Dent left, full of ambition, but ten years later she's back. Can Shaun convince her that Skem is an inheritance better than any house? Jackie's Hagan's Cosmic Scallies is a witty and touching play about class, friendship and absence. It premiered at the 2017 Edinburgh Festival Fringe in a co-production between Graeae Theatre Company and the Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester, before transferring to the Royal Exchange.
