A RED-BLOODED comedy with a twist in its tail is how the New Vic is promoting 'Ham', a play with music, being staged from Friday, January 26 to Saturday February 17.

It's Paul's first day in his first job and at Broadbents the butchers, 'succulence seeps from every slice'.

But behind the counter passions boil as Bob and Carol, Jay and Paul collide.

What are the dreams a butcher dreams? What nightmares lurk in the freezer?

As the knives come out Paul can't help wonder - is he cut out for the butcher's life?
