If someone could listen, properly – what would you say?
Fallon’s yard – a once thriving industrial works but now a derelict wasteland. The place where the young monsters go. A place where things happen – mad stuff you wouldn’t believe…
A young woman lies in a coma after a brutal attack. A group of outraged vigilantes take to the streets. The police need answers and there’s one place they think they’ll find them. But Stephen, King of Fallon’s yard, has gone missing…
We may think we know why, but we don’t know why.
This sane and over excited, yobbish and polite new play by Ben Musgrave, Winner of the 2006 Bruntwood Playwriting Competition, tackles issues of education, identity, belonging ang self-esteem and in doing so, challenges perceptions of the ASBO generation.
The play has been commissioned for and developed with members of The Young REP.

31 March 2010 - hello again to Cath and all the others who have enquired about this play through other channels - we've now got a much clearer sense of what this new play is about and we've tried to describe it above. As you can imagine it's tricky to sum up a play in just a few sentences, so my best advice would be to come and see it - give it a try and let us know what you think!

Cath -it'd be great if you came because you may find you enjoy it whether or not you initially thought it would be something you usually enjoy or not...all about pushing the boundaries :)

Cath is perfectly entitled to ask what she did. Even £7- in a time of national crisis,or at least belt-tightening - is a lot to "waste" on the vagaries of a new play, albeit a recent prize-winner. Is it funny, serious or trite? Or just another money-spinning load of...
I apologise for my bluntness, but at least if the play already exists you can check it out BEFORE you part with your hard-earned cash (assuming you still have any).
Incidentally, despite the above, I would pay £7 to see aforementioned play, if your contributors were more forthcoming.
Thank you, if you are still reading..

Having seen the show last night I can reveal that it was both hilarious and thought-provoking. It doesn't fit into any one box, but it definately says something new and is in no way a "waste" - some great performances from Young REP members as always and completely recommendable.

i have had great fun doing the play - it was a intense rehearsal but i have enjoyed every moment of it. The play turned out to be a blast all the cast had a great time and didn't want it to be over- thanks for all the great feed back hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did :D x
Can you tell us a bit more about this play ? Is it funny ? Is it a musical? Is it rather deep and / or dark ? Is it for a fairly mainstream, 'middle of the road' audience or is it very 'cutting edge'. I'd like to support the youngsters, but would like to know if it's 'my kind of play' first.
