El Barco is the newest tapas restaurant in fashionable Walthamstow Village, and it is Kerry Jackson's pride and joy. Wearing her working-class roots as a badge of honour, Kerry navigates local characters and gentrification politics in a bid to make the business a success, while quietly employing her chef Athena without proper papers. April De Angelis's biting comedy explores class conflict, immigration, homelessness, and the contradictions of compassion in modern Britain.
