Synopsis
In an abandoned building a group of young people are forced to confront the very thing that scares them most. Themselves. The mysterious and complicated culture of inner-city youth was exploded in this gripping play, which breathed with a raw poetic language and a contemporary soundtrack.
Part street vernacular, part theatrical tradition, at times harrowing and at others searingly true – this was a play about the world of the teenage mind. Novelist and writer Courttia Newland deployed an abstract, poetic narrative style to invigorate this physical and fast paced production that toured nationally.
