Trussed

Three characters, tangled together in a topsy-turvy world, fall into London: Vinda, the ersatz dominatrix, lives with her aunt and uncle and hunts for jobs when she isn?t dispensing cheap thrills to nervous lawyers; Angel, her cousin, thief and Elvis impersonator, sings like the King but risks his freedom for the lustre of a rhinestone suit; and Regis, a broken-hearted bounty hunter from Los Angeles, drifts through grey streets, stranded between his prey and his own crumpled past. A patchwork of modern Black and Asian urban life, Trussed is clever, funny, weird and tragic. Shiromi Pinto?s disorientated trio attempt, with varying success, to unravel the emotional and moral confusion that binds their lives. In their search for redemption, her characters shed names, skins, even souls - before reconciling themselves to their own private fates.
