About

A compelling thriller by award-winning writer, Dennis Kelly, and directed by Anthony Banks. A group of teenagers do something bad, really bad, then panic and cover the whole thing up. But when they find that the cover-up unites them and brings harmony to their otherwise fractious lives, where’s the incentive to put things right? First performed at the National Theatre in 2007, this startling new play is fast becoming a contemporary classic with young
audiences. Cast includes James Alexandrou (EastEnders).

Reviews

Punchy without being preachy; tackles moral issues without moralising; Dennis Kelly offers a witty take on the dark side of group mentality.

The Independent

thoroughly enjoyable... this is a remarkably enthralling and creepy evening

The Stage

a skankier, urbanised update of Lord of the Flies: a sort of Abu Ghrainge Hill.
