Crime of the Century

Zoo Southside    7 - 30 August @ 14.45   

This is as powerful and emotive as youth theatre, or any theatre for that matter, gets.  In a visually stunning production, we witness the pressure of today’s youth in a world where knives and stabbings are a constant threat, a reality that society at large condemns and then looks away…

This piece uses recorded testament, a great hip-hop score and astonishingly precise and acrobatic movement to examine the childhood and youth of today and tries to find where the solutions to this hell of life may lie.

There are moments where this show finds poignancy – particularly in the solo sang by the mother of one of the stab victims – but it shies away from offering sympathy and takes a most pragmatic view of this society in decline.

A play worthy of attention.
