Carl Hiaasen has been called America's number one satirist. His seriously funny thriller LUCKY YOU - published in 30 languages - is now adapted for the stage. Following its hugely successful world premiere in Edinburgh, the production transfers directly to the Oxford Playhouse for eight performances only.

Grange, Florida. A nice neat American town. Shiner's Ma thinks she saw the face of Jesus in a road stain, and now the pilgrims flock to take a look. Nothing like the coach trade they get at Demencio's: his weeping fibreglass Madonna is a miracle (when the pump doesn't block).

People'll believe anything.

Bode and Chub, two rednecks, win the lottery. FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS!! Well - half the lottery. The other half's won by JoLayne Lucks - and OF COURSE - she's African American... and a veterinarian. Why the HELL should they share the money with her... so they beat her up and steal her ticket. But JoLayne's not going to take that lying down. She gets together with Tom Krome - investigative journalist - hungry for ACTION.

A wild chase ensues as JoLayne and Tom pursue the two heavily-armed psychopaths, their dim-bulb young recruit and a Hooter's waitress... that's Amber, their sexy hostage (oh those long, long legs...), to a climax that explodes with all the wild and hilarious mayhem that is Carl Hiaasen's hallmark.

Lucky You monitors the scale of human credulity. People will believe just about anything. And that can turn the world into a crazy place.
