Bedminster

While not named directly, Bedminster’s traditional associations of working-class conviviality are here parodied through mythic analogy. As “the site of the Court of Alcinous”, it becomes a Bristolian Ithaca – where the down-and-out swap colonic parables in lieu of Homeric verse. Craven’s rendering ties classical pastiche to the urban bacchanalia of South Bristol.
