Synopsis: | "My starting point was an article I read in the paper about a group of boys who had attacked a young Muslim at a bus stop. I wanted to explore the lives and relationships of these boys to see what would drive them to commit such acts of violence. Yet I found that the more I wrote the more the play seemed to be about the relationship between the boys rather than the attack." - Laura Lomas | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | The play was inspired by the real-life events leading up to the killing of burglar Fred Barras by farmer Tony Martin. Derby playwright Laura Lomas has written a drama of love, loyalty, revenge and redemption - an unsettling but moving portrait of three characters caught on the wrong side of the tracks and trying to find their way back. As the lives of this unlikely trio of young characters become entangled, the ties that bind them turn into the secrets that threaten to tear them apart. Divided loyalties mean they've all got life-and-death decisions to make. | |||||
