Holes in the Skin (NHB Modern Plays)

A gripping play about the nature of violence.
15-year-old Kerry and her mum have moved to a council estate. Kerry hates it. She hates her mum's new man too. But when she meets a boy in the playground and asks him to do something about it, she finds herself adrift in a landscape of physical brutality, drugs — and, eventually, love.
'Marvellously mature and dramatically engrossing' — Guardian
'Hypnotic … a shimmering, wistful evocation of lost innocence' — The Times
