Description

Set against the backdrop of East London's Limehouse Cut and the Lee River, Herons is a powerful drama about teenage life on an estate. When Billy's father's actions make his life unbearable, he turns to his peers for support, but their campaign of bullying escalates into violence.

Commissioned by the Royal Court, this play premiered at the theatre in 2001, marking the emergence of a major new voice in British theatre. With its unflinching portrayal of teenage struggles and the consequences of violent action, Herons is a thought-provoking and moving work that explores the complexities of adolescent life.
