Snake Town

A mother and daughter’s devious plan to fleece their unsuspecting tenants unravels with deadly consequences.

Ludmilla Shatalova, a Ukrainian émigré and her 21yr old daughter, Rosie’s devious plan to fleece their unsuspecting tenants – a secretive accountant and an affable night watchman – appears to be foolproof. By making sure the two men never meet and skilfully swopping their possessions twice a day, they can rent them the same flat and take a double rent.  But each man has a secret. And events at the basement flat in the run-down seaside resort begin to unravel in spectacular fashion.

Bognor Dogs is playwright Toby Wilsher’s brilliant, fantastical debut novel. Packed with wit, invention and the unlikely combination of a deadly snake, stray dog, two million in cash, a psychopathic drug dealer, and one very lucky postman.

TOBY WILSHER lives in West Sussex on the south coast of England, where his debut novel Snake Town is set. After working as a cleaner in a psychiatric hospital, and manning the tills at a record shop, he embarked on a Performing Arts Degree at Middlesex Polytechnic before founding the Trestle Theatre Company in 1981. Over the next twenty-three years, he was an actor, writer, maker, designer and director for Trestle, seeing his work performed in 31 countries.
