Starring Gary Lewis and Iain Robertson, The Blue Hen is a gritty and moving drama by award-winning writer, Des Dillon.

Paddy and John are two ordinary working class guys who are out of work and out of luck when they hit on a scheme to keep them occupied and keep their bellies full.

They're going to rear chickens in their back green and sell the eggs for profit. But it's not easy being the only honest men in Coatbridge's roughest scheme and their venture doesn't exactly go to plan. As their dreams of self-sufficiency crumble, a powerful story of friendship against the odds unfolds.

John is played by Gary Lewis and Paddy is played by Iain Robertson.
