I don't know where he goes, who he hangs around with. I don't even know if he wears high top trainers. When the body of a local teenager is found next to the war memorial in Romford, a community is shocked. A mother thinks of her son. - A police officer searches for answers. - A lonely girl waits at a bus stop. - And two teenagers discover love - in a chat box, that is. In a world of instant connection, of cyberchats and selfies, how well can we ever really know those around us? A Local Boy is a provocative, gripping, and touchingly funny debut play by Dan Murphy about identity, relationships, and the anger that smoulders when we feel like we don't belong.
