Barry ‘The Arrow’ Barnes is a local anti-hero: a gifted darts player with an ego as big as his charisma who hits the bottle as often as he hits the bull. But when a drunken accident leaves him having to have an arm amputated he hits absolute rock bottom - until his friend and manager hears that darts has become an event in the Paralympics.
Can Barry find fame in that world – and does he deserve it? As he embarks on his journey of self-(re)discovery, he must face his own prejudices and demons as he comes up against his greatest nemesis: the one and only Darts Vader!
This hilarious feelgood comedy (think The Full Monty) stars Ste Johnston (No Offence), Chris Simmons (The Bill), Sue Johnston (The Royle Family) and Alan Ford (Snatch).
We are delighted that members of the cast and crew will be joining us.
