With a Brecton approach this play is sketch driven, using the conventions of monologue, duologue, documentary, game show and chat show, this play tackles a very serious issue in a darkly comic way. In seven isolated scenes we meet every one from “Ann Robinson” in “The Weakest Myth” and “Chris Tarrant“ in “Who wants To Be Infected” to a pregnant fourteen year old and a sixteen year old  boy who wants to wait until he finds some one he loves…or at least likes before he has sex.

The play was boss. I get dead embarrassed and would never have been able to ask any one about the things I saw in the play and there were quite a few things that I didn’t have a clue about that I know about now and it was dead funny!” – Member AGY6 youth Club.
