20 Stories High - presents a new play touring nationally- WHOLE

WHOLE is a gritty, funny and uncompromising new play for teenagers and young adults- exploring sexuality, love, death and religion, with live music and spoken word. What happens when you're in a hole? What happens when that hole's inside you? What do you fill it with to make yourself feel whole? Last year, 3 teenagers emailed 20 Stories High to ask if they could make a play about their friend Holly. This is how it unravelled... WHOLE is touring to small-scale national venues and Merseyside schools from Jan - March 2013. Suitable for ages 13+.
