This is a piece of musical theatre in four acts that covers the landscape of criminal and sexual exploitation facing children and young people in even the most apparently mundane communities across the United Kingdom.
Presented in bold and fast paced movements, with musical scores to emphasise the mood and feeling of the events this play will transport you through the ups and down - the exhilaration and the devastation - that has hooked more than 20,000 young people into criminalised behaviours and tragic life outcomes. This is a didactic piece that teaches as it entertains - creating insight and understanding with the presentation of characters that are both complex, consistent and sincere.
