Part of Glasgay! 2010

How do you juggle bad kissing, punishment exercises and parents laying down the law when what you really need is to blast your tunes? Read more …

For some teenagers that stuff is just the start – a few wrong turns is all it takes for your life to spiral out of control. How do we cross the bridge into adulthood and why do some of us never make it? Roots, role models, choices and consequences: living life like there is no tomorrow.

Wendy Miller and Rachel Amey present a new play about four characters seeking hope in one of the darkest of places.

**(*)(*)(*)Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman, 29/10/2010

The characters don’t seem clearly enough drawn while the writing seems to be enjoying its own poetry a tad too self-consciously.
