A place where things happen - mad stuff you wouldn't believe. . .A young woman lies in a coma after a brutal attack. A group of outraged vigilantes take to the streets. The police need answers and there's one place they think they'll find them. But Stephen, King of Fallon's yard, has gone missing. . .We may think we know why, but we don't know why. This sane and over excited, yobbish and polite new play by Ben Musgrave, Winner of the 2006 Bruntwood Playwriting Competition, tackles issues of education, identity, belonging ang self-esteem and in doing so, challenges perceptions of the ASBO generation. | |||||

Synopsis: | Inspired by the true stories of Ralph Ojotu. Eric Adegeye has always kept moving, and relies on no man. In Lagos he runs smuggling missions in his dirty yellow bus. His restlessness drives him to England, where he is ensnared in a depraved world of forced labour and bad loyalties. When he falls in love with Sarah, can they both break free from the underworld? And then can he stand still long enough to find out who he really is? Only Connect is a creative arts company and crime prevention charity for prisoners, ex-offenders and at-risk youth. The play is performed by ex-offenders, with convictions ranging from firearms to drugs offences, and at-risk youth. | |||||

Notes: | winner of the Bruntwood Playwrighting Competion, 2006 | |||||
Synopsis: | The prize-winning debut play from Ben Musgrave, a tender and funny play about growing up in Romford in the shadow of Canary Wharf. 1995. Big buildings are rising in London's Docklands. But marooned miles to the east, half-in and half-out of the city, Romford has not been invited to the party. Confused about its identity, the inhabitants of the 'only town in London with its own ring road' are trying to cope. The relationships they forge have painful implications, in this poetic and passionate play that explores growing up, identity and loss. | |||||
