NEWRITE Theatre Company and The Brewhouse present
The Age of Consent
by Peter Morris
Tue 22nd April - Sat 26th April 2008
Can a child ever give their consent to be judged, and treated, as an adult?
A chilling and powerful play exposing the mind of a child-killer, The Age of Consent delves into the psyche of two characters. Few kids have a secret as chilling as Timmy's. Stephanie loves Raquel to death. Acutely topical, darkly satirical and brutally uncompromising - these two monologues explore the shattering of childhood innocence.
Condemned by the mother of Jamie Bulger and acclaimed by the critics - for tackling the subject of child killers - this is another controversial play by Peter Morris, winner of the Sunday Times Playwriting Prize 2001.
The Brewhouse welcomes back NEWRITE Theatre Co., whose previous production, Guardians, also by Peter Morris, sold out in the Studio in 2006. Be sure to book early!
"The play opens up a moral minefield. Who can, or should, consent to what? Can anyone consent to something on the behalf of another? What power can anyone, a person or a community, have over the mind and life of another? Morris's play sends you out in a state of moral turbulence."
