About this listen

In sleepy, rural North Wales, Frankie Gibbs, an aimless 20-year-old on universal credit and recently laid off, wants nothing more than to keep his younger brother out of the care system. He takes this upon himself while their alcoholic, cocaine-addicted, single-parent father, Guy Gibbs, heaps misery on their lives through systematic abuse and his never-ending wild parties. After Guy is sent to prison, Frankie is coerced into opening his home to Justin, an acquaintance from his school days who has become a drug dealer, while his own addictions and self-worth spiral beyond recognition.

One Visit is an astonishing debut. It's raw, shocking, disturbing, insightful, and dark from start to finish. There are flashes of wit but, in the main, it's a full-frontal assault with the truth of physical, psychological, social, and political deterioration in a beautiful part of Wales.
