Holes in the Skin (NHB Modern Plays)

A gripping play about the nature of violence.

15-year-old Kerry and her mum have moved to a council estate. Kerry hates it. She hates her mum's new man too. But when she meets a boy in the playground and asks him to do something about it, she finds herself adrift in a landscape of physical brutality, drugs – and, eventually, love.

'Marvellously mature and dramatically engrossing' – Guardian

'Hypnotic … a shimmering, wistful evocation of lost innocence' – The Times
