Students from a city high school are on a field trip when the suspended Rosalind and her friends decide to gate-crash the party to win the heart of the school’s new wrestling champion, Orlando. But, to ensure that no one recognises them for who they really are, the fallen queens of the schoolyard disguise themselves as chavs – and male ones at that. Out in the sticks the field trip turns into a collision of sub cultures as emos, geeks, ‘It’ crowd, goths and now chavs are all forced together, resulting in the most captivating love triangles in the history of Shakespearian literature.

The Park Lane Friendly Co-operative Society began as an initiative of the workers and managers at the Garswood Coal & Iron Co, a limited liability company formed in 1873 to take over the Park Lane Collieries of Messrs Mercer and Evans. Rev George Fox relates in his “History of Park Lane Chapel” (H Rawson & Co, 1897) how, “at the latter end of 1876”, he was invited by the Garswood Coal & Iron Co general manager, Christopher Fisher Clark, to attend a meeting at the Company's offices “for the purpose of considering the feasibility of establishing a co-operative society in the neighbourhood... The new society had to meet with the opposition usual in such cases. It had to pass through the chastening experiences of the “day of small things”. But it gradually progressed. It was fortunate in its active managers. Especially it was privileged to have a most efficient secretary in Mr William Lowe, a member of the Park Lane congregation. Satisfactory dividends produced popular confidence in the institution”.
Slowly it grew to the point where, by 1962, there were more than 15 stores in the Ashton in Makerfield area and well in excess of 2000 members. Less conspicuously, it was also active in the provision of housing and education.
