Terriers

A PLAY BY MAURICE BESSMAN

What do you do when you’re fifteen and live on an estate where you get street cred for being in a gang? What do you do when you’ve got the chance of a decent future but the pull of the gang is too strong? And what are you gonna do when one of the gang passes you a gun and tells you, honour is at stake; use the gun to show you’re one of us?

EVE’S STORY

A PLAY BY MAURICE BESSMAN

Eve has always been popular. With her infectious smile and lively personality she could be the most popular and successful girl in school, but she doesn’t always turn up. The reason is simple. She thinks there are more important things happening. However, she’s vulnerable, naïve and has a real difficulty telling the good from the bad. She’s made a promise to be a better person but that’s easier said than done.

Supporters

The plays couldn’t have reached the numbers of young people they have without the support of our fundraisers. Terriers has had a real impact on the people who see it, in schools, youth centres and Young Offenders Institutes. We are grateful for the support that we receive from our current partners and are always looking for opportunities to forge new relationships with organisations that could help.
