Synopsis: | Trevor is 12 years old. But he's almost 13. He loves Megan. She's not 11 anymore. And his best friend is a giant mouse& called Mousey. 12 is a coming of age story about first loves and the confusing, terrifying, exhilarating nature of first sexual experiences. It's a world of blue light discos, wishing you could dance, 15 year old boys who think they know everything about girls and what they want, and 15 year old girls with minds full of tormenting lies. Using the greek myth of Orpheus in the Underworld, 12 is a fusing of myth and suburban banality. We watch as Trevor is thrust into his own version of the underworld, populated by a terrifying creature known as the Hairman, where he has to come face to face with his fears and kill the thing he loves the most in order to grow up. His innocence. 12 is a play which remembers what it was like to be 12. | |||||

Synopsis: | A girl wakes one morning. A morning just like any other. And as she shovels down her breakfast she looks out the kitchen window, out to the east, to where the sun has just risen, to the forest that lies just beyond her back fence. And for a moment she sees something. A boy. A young man. Her mother snaps her from her day dream, telling her to go find your father, and tell him his breakfast is getting cold! . She heads outside into the brisk cold morning to discover her father at the front gate in the distance, talking to someone& a person& who looks like a goat, but has the face of a man. Using the Grimm's fairy tale of the handless maiden as a starting point, and told in four parts, Silver tells the strange and beautiful tale of a young girl as she goes in search of stillness lost. | |||||
