Wise Guys

T491088855
Wise Guys pulls no punches, dealing with issues such as domestic violence, street violence, drugs and petty crime head on using uncompromising street language. Mike, Darren and Skid are three youths living on the fringes of society trying to survive an imperfect world. Their solution is crime. Drugs alter their perceptions, theft lines their pockets, crime gives them a buzz. But when Mike and Darren are caught stealing cars, all three go on the run on a journey up north that changes their lives forever.
Author Philip Osment

Overall: 3.00
The Times (11Jan01): [Philip Osment] s play was watched by a young audience who seems to find in his characters a range of habits and feelings they could recognise. The play has exposed the glamour of violence as fake and nasty. 3
