Description
Mudlarks is a powerful and poignant play about three young men trapped at the wrong end of the river. On the muddy banks of the Thames, they hide from the police after a night of recklessness, their fears, secrets, and dreams slowly emerging as the freezing night wears on.
As morning dawns, their options diminish, leaving only two questions: do they have the power to determine their own fates, or are they destined to sink into the mud? Vickie Donoghue's debut play exposes the culture she grew up with, exploring the tension between teenagers' impulse to dream and the harsh realities of life.
This urgent new voice in British theatre offers a brutal honesty about the struggles of growing up, making for a deeply moving and thought-provoking read.
