The club; a place of worship

Set in real-time, The Hacienda Tales invites its audience to eavesdrop on the conversations between strangers as they first meet on their way to famed Manchester superclub, The Hacienda. Pardsy, a drug-dealing small-time criminal, awaits the arrival of his prey at a motorway service station and is greeted by Hacienda veteran Paul; newly-wed first-timer Julie; her friend and closet drug addict Claire; and naïve student Edward.

As the night winds on and tempers flare, the truths come tumbling out, illustrating the lengths people will go to conceal aspects of their personality, projecting an entirely different image of themselves.[/tabgarb]
