Product Description

An hour-long play that deals with the nervous breakdown of an adolescent boy through drug and alcohol misuse. A highly lyrical and poetic play that juxtaposes the lyricism of the language with the darkness of the experiences being represented. This is a play that grabs the reader. (20011201)

Review
'[Twisted and Much Ado About Clubbing are] valuable for their sheer inventiveness and fascinating staging techniques. Much of the material here could be used in drama or PHSE lessons and if thoughts tend towards larger scale performance, scrupulous suggestions for stage-crafting make all things seem possible, even on limited resources ... Where [Angelcake and Dragon Chaser] succeed is in their clever multiple discourses, including choral work, soliloquy and dramatic monologue.' - Times Educational Supplement, 5/10/01

...excellent resource for a school or youth club drama group...Whole ranges of young people's feelings are covered in a lively and often funny fashion. (Children's Book News )

... a series of plays that are both vibrant and truthful, living up the title Plays with Attitude...These are writers who know their craft and their audeince. (Armadillo )
