Covering the lives of several young people, this story is based on the real life experiences of the young people interviewed during the research for this play. This serious story, told in a very real and naturalistic way has comical elements.
“I’ve never been to the theatre or anything before and I didn’t know what to expect, I thought it was going to be boring, but it was great! It was dead real, just like we really talk and about things that really happen in our lives. It made me understand that what we are doing has an effect on other people.” – Member of FZY youth club
