Dandruff Hits the Turtleneck

From the moment pub landlord and keen amateur entomologist, Arnold Matson, arrives in Blinkington-on-the-Treacle to take over his new hostelry, we are led through a colourful collection of vignettes and poignant flashbacks that are both comically funny and disturbingly familiar.

Set in an imaginary backwater village, 'Dandruff' dips delightfully into the intricacies and miniscule absurdities of everyday life. Mayfield's world blends originality with an amalgamation of Dylan Thomas, P.G. Wodehouse, G.K. Chesterton and Alan Bennett and can accurately be described as 'kite flying for the imagination.'
