Description

Park yourself behind the counter and take stock during this heartfelt devised comedy. WYLAB? plays out from the omniscient perspective of a local corner-shopkeeper, following the lives of eight (mostly) lovable regulars. You’ll watch as they tackle the trials and tribulations of early adulthood – falling in and out of love, friendship and happiness – becoming interconnected in ways they never could have imagined. Ding-dong: Meet Imo, Maya, Chiara, Will, Jamie, Grace, Max and Saz, your corner shop’s regularest regulars… and none of them realise quite how much we know about their lives.
