Watch Charlie Lawson, star of Blue Hen, on STV's The Hour:

 

Two redundant men. A blue hen. Twelve bloodthirsty chickens. One grave robber and a psychopathic drug dealer. Can Paddy and John use their working class wits to get through this one intact? Or will the roughest scheme in Coatbridge strip them of their dignity, their dreams, and their lives?

Blue Hen is a gritty, moving story about two ordinary guys who are out of work, out of patience and out of luck when they hit on a scheme to keep themselves occupied and their bellies full. They're going to rear chickens out the back green.

Starring Charlie Lawson (Coronation Street’s legendary Jim McDonald).

Scott Kyle and Charlie Lawson from the cast of Blue Hen, with author Des Dillon at the rear.

From NLP, the company that brought you the hugely successful Singin’ I’m No A Billy He’s A Tim.
