Speak is a devised show presented by our Young Actors' Company, based on their own experience and research, developed with guidance from poet Roger Robinson. Jamie Lee, former tough girl in her neighbourhood, struggles to make a new start while her old mates are involved on the fringes of crime. Speak is packed with individual characters from bullyboy pimp to gospel church grandma, gang girl to council housing office clerk. Speak is a play made by people about the problems and issues that concern them: breaking out of a rut, dealing with peer pressure, coping with a baby and keeping the right side of the law.
