I think it's sad. A sad place. Full of sad people with fucked-up lives. And I thinks, how? How did they get there? How did they get to this? What was it? What happened that got them there? Cos you're not just born into it, are you. You're not born into being fucked up?Steph is fifteen years old. Simon is her teacher. Both live in Cardiff but their parallel lives couldn't be more different. When an accusation is made and their worlds collide, things aren't as simple as they might seem.Award-winning playwright Katherine Chandler explores truth, class and power in contemporary Wales in this gripping, uncompromising play. It received its world premiere on 20 November 2013 at Chapter Arts Centre, Cardiff, and won the inaugural Wales Drama Award.

Caracteristici

'Like all of Chandler's work, the play is incredibly accomplished, witty, fearless and burning with something to say . . . The protagonist is a teenage girl trying to make sense of her play in the world. It is a defining play for Wales, a snapshot of working-class life in 2012, capturing how the shifting parameters of class can do untold damage to the powerless in society.' Playwright Tim Price, in introduction to Contemporary Welsh Plays
