L ost games begin when the curtain rises in a theatre. But Cashy C's: The Musical begins when the metal security shutter lifts on the front of a pawn shop.
Once the shutter blue went off, an actor leads the audience inside, where they find their seats surrounded by shelves containing old televisions, toasters, turntables, tool kits, fans, guitars, lamps, a dented printer and a kettle.
We meet a member of staff who has to deal with more or less desperate and reckless customers, and who is powerless not to be dragged into a precarious situation himself.
Between scenes in the play, a rapper emerges from a DJ booth to deliver his musical commentary on the drama unfolding in the store.
Outside, real ac Actors walk past the shop window as they go about their business in Bradford town centre, oblivious to the fact that they are what show producer Rosie Freeman jokingly describes as "our amazing extras".
