Plastic

Remember the moment you became an adult? Or did you miss it? Kev used to have a girlfriend called Lisa, she wore a fitted blazer and Reebok classics, lit up the school yard. Kev used to be the captain of the school football team. Scored the winner in the All-Essex schools cup final. Ben used to get beaten up most days. He stole money from his mum's purse to pay off `Wicksy'. Now he's an accountant. But Ben always had Jack. His loyal, unbreakable mate Jack. Adults are the kids that survive school right? And what if some kids don't? Kenneth Emson's Plastic is a charged, poetic, unflinchingly honest new play about time, memory and escape.
