A typical day in Brighton during the mid 1980’s; two working class couples - Derek and Dinah, Dave and Doreen - are on a day trip to the beach. But Brighton is changing, and the friends can't keep up. The result is a vengeful act of violence that exposes the gaps and similarities between class, gender and sexual orientations.

​

BRIGHTON compassionately explores the mutual incomprehension inherent in the divide between the middle and working classes.
