The Royal Scottish Academy of Music & Drama

This play set it the north east of England gives a somewhat worrying expose on the lives of four hormone driven young teenagers.

Written by Paul Charlton and directed by Marc de Launay and is performed by four final year students of the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama.

Jill played by Catriona Molver is sexually experienced and tries to explain to the more naive Rachael, Alison O'Donnell the 'rules' of dating. Matthew Neal plays the confident and allegedly experienced Connor while Paul Charlton plays the more sensitive Johnny.

To this potent mix, the dreaded cheap alcohol is added and relationships develop, not necessarily the way that appeals to all concerned.

Each character is beautifully written and how these 'much older' actors are totally believable as fourteen year olds is a credit to their talent, I could believe it would not have been too difficult for them to act being drunk.

A superb play, and if this is the standard of actors being produced by this esteemed organisation then I think it's safe to say that the future is very rosy indeed.
