TAKING antisocial behavour and its consequences as a unifying theme, the play was an object lesson in economic storytelling, with short punchy scenes punctuated by bursts of humour.
There were some excellent uses of film and music.
The percussion enhanced the sense of menace and dread that saturated certain scenes in the play.
Visually striking, and tightly directed, the production had some truly memorable moments.
Never has raising a hood on a hoodie seemed so full of malicious intent.
The school lesson on gang culture and rap was extremely funny.
While a few nerves showed, the largely untried cast covered themselves with credit.
Lewis Evans was impressive as the confused, resentful, Ollie, matched by Katherine Shotter as Keeley. Harry McDonald was equally good as the quiet, loyal Mouse.
A new talent has arrived in the shape of Karmen Arnold, mesmerising as Steph.
