Synopsis

In Hannah & Hanna having escaped from Kosovo, Hanna, 16 meets Hannah, 16, from Margate.

An unlikely friendship develops when they find that music is a common bond between them despite their different cultures and circumstances.

Virgins explores issues of sexuality for young people: How do you explore your sexuality when you are still living at home with your parents?

How do your parents sustain their love life with you in the house?

And why do we find it so difficult to talk about?

Risk asks how young people can discover their limits, how can they find out who they are?

It asks why young people are drawn to danger; why they risk their freedom, their bodies, their minds and their futures, through dangerous activities and crime.

Club Asylum is a devised dance theatre piece about teenage asylum seekers in Glasgow based on research with both young asylum seekers and residents.

A thrilling fusion of dance, theatre and music.

Press Reviews

"It's an incredibly simple premise; two teenagers fumble with their new-found sexuality while their parents desperately search for physical love, long-lost. But John Retallack's Virgins works wonderfully precisely because it is so simple; an immensely likable piece of writing."
— Metro

"If you want an image, in dark and light, of the average British family after 40 years of rapid sexual change, then this show is as clear and compassionate a starting point as you could hope to find."
— The Scotsman
