Synopsis

“[Chloë] Moss assuredly captures the exhilarating terror of standing on the cusp of adulthood and leaving childhood certainties behind.”—Guardian
 
Luke and Christie are typical sixteen-year-old lads from Manchester. They like camping out, drinking lager, and talking about girls. But when they leave school and their lives go in different directions, will they still have things in common?

About this title

About the Author:

Chloe Moss's first play was workshopped at the Royal Court. She then became Writer in Residence at the Bush Theatre, London, where she wrote How Love is Spelt (2004). She comes from Liverpool

Review:

"'For the finest and most assured writing to be found outside the National Theatre this year, head straight into Shepherd's Bush. Chloe Moss has lived up to her early promise with a moving and mature study of love, loneliness and the need to define one's own identity... One of the year's undoubted highlights.' Evening Standard 'Signals the arrival of a remarkably assured new talent. I can't remember a play in recent years that so adroitly captured the difficulty of being young and alone in the capital or did so with such refreshing humour' Daily Telegraph"
