Synopsis
A vivid, fast-talking, visceral snapshot of life growing up in the 1980s.Recalls those moments growing up that are at the same time unique and universal: a dark moment of rebellion against your mum, the bloodlust of your gang, the summer evening feeling that you’ll live forever..
Our Review:
30 April 2009
A wise playwright once said that like its wars and its politicians, society gets the teenagers it deserves. If anyone from the future had to glean a picture of teen life in the early 21st century from scanning our doom-laden newspapers, they would be forgiven for assuming that it consisted of little else but stabbings, ASBOs and the growing pains of bespectacled apprentice wizards. Teens have become a frightening study in contemporary anthropology.
So it’s a welcome breath of fresh air to see a drama that honestly and vividly portrays the more common bittersweet cocktail that makes up most people’s adolescent memories - raging hormones, bullying on the back seats of buses and the green shoots of finding your own voice against an uncertain future that might take you to volunteering in Tibet or working for the Debt Recovery department of North West Water.
