The setup

An insult scrawled on a tenement stairwell sparks a slanging match in marker pen that slowly turns into a courtship.

The premise

Here’s the bit.

Someone has written on the stairwell wall, in green marker, that Stacey Hughes is a cow. Stacey answers in blue, and the anonymous writer accuses her of two-timing a local lad called JP, a claim she insists was a lie told after she turned JP down. Flight by flight up the stairwell, the written row trades jibes until both sides apologise, Stacey admits she finds it hard to trust men, and her mystery correspondent asks her out and promises never to hurt her. As she writes her reply, she turns to find the writer standing behind her, green marker in hand.

Say it with us

Highly quotable.

Stacey Hughes is a cow

Look, no pressure here. But how would you like to go out sometime.

I'll never hurt ye. Never. Please

Behind the scenes

The people who made it.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

There is no spoken dialogue: the whole exchange is written on the stairwell wall in green and blue marker, set to music.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
