‘Fishing’ by local playwright Paul Kenny, tells the story of a son’s last ditch attempts at connection and reconciliation with his dying father Frank; who as the cancer takes over his body, is becoming increasingly bitter and frustrated at the prospect of losing control over what little time he has left. In the hospice, he dreams of one last adventure of his own, a return to one of his favourite fishing spots to hit a Tench or two and sink a pint of Kingston’s. Realising that time is of the essence, Phil kidnaps his father and on a hired narrow-boat and borrowed time, the two men embark on a journey of discovery revolving around the only activity they ever shared…fishing.
