The Bottom Tapestries
Description: Three convicts, Pete and Delmar led by Ulysses Everett McGill, escape from a chain gang and to retrieve a buried treasure before the area is flooded to make a lake. The three get a lift from a blind man driving a handcar on a railway. He tells them they will find a fortune, but not the one they seek. The trio make their way to the house of Wash, Pete's cousin. They sleep in the barn, but Wash reports them to Sheriff Cooley, who, along with his men, torches the barn. Wash's son helps them escape.
Description: Hellwood Outfitters proudly present a brand new design inspired by the much missed comedy classic Bottom, starring the legendary Ade Edmondson and the late, great Rik Mayall as two dysfunctional flatmates Richard Richard and Eddie Hitler. With a mix of anarchic slapstick and nihilistic humour, Bottom ran for three series and spawned five highly successful stage tours and a feature film called Guest House Paradiso.
Description: Simone Weil quote: At the bottom of the heart of every human being, from earliest infancy until the tomb, there is something that goes on indomitably expecting, in the teeth of all experience of crimes committed, suffered, and witnessed, that good and not evil will be done to him. It is this above all that is sacred in every human being.
Description: Gustave Flaubert quote: At the bottom of her heart, however, she was waiting for something to happen. Like shipwrecked sailors, she turned despairing eyes upon the solitude of her life, seeking afar off some white sail in the mists of the horizon. She did not know what this chance would be, what wind would bring it her, towards what shore it would drive her, if it would be a shallop or a three-decker, laden with anguish or full of bliss to the portholes. But each morning, as she awoke, she hoped it would come that day; she listened to every sound, sprang up with a start, wondered that it did not come; then at sunset, always more saddened, she longed for the morrow.
