Pleasance Courtyard 4th-30th August
Well, what a start, this is a cracking little piece loosely based around the tricky subject of knife crime and young delinquency. The script moves at break neck speed as we are thrown about on a rollercoaster of emotions seen through a group of friends' one night camping trip in the local woods. Set in Manchester the chracters are engaging and realistic and the dreams of youth and the barriers faced by those in deprived areas is explored with humour and gravitas.
A crackling atmosphere and witty dialogue belies the feeling that the night is due to end in tears for our gang of mates and that end, whilst not wishing to spoil the show, really does leave the audience in no doubt as to the severity of the play's subject matter.
A fabulous cast with a stand out performance from Matthew Landers, this should not be missed and is worthy of the score 9/10
