"We stand and serve, we grin and smile, we serve to please, and all the while we do, we burn up deep inside with all the pain we’re meant to hide."

The play tells the story of a typical night in a wine bar (aptly named Shakers) as four workers, Carol, Nicky, Adele and Mel struggle through their long shift, serving demanding customers who come and go on their night out.

Through comedy it deals with modern culture and tackles issues of sexism, expectations, prejudice, motherhood and job satisfaction.
