Glasgow. 2006. An abandoned playground. Troubled teenagers Kayleigh Grey and Zoe Douglas are flirting, playing dare, and fantasising about running away together to the Isle of Muck.
Despite being warned to stay away, teacher Miss Hastie is inexplicably drawn into the two girls’ orbit of chaos, and when Kayleigh’s mother, Hazel, attempts to keep her under her manipulative spell, the consequences are far worse than anyone could have imagined.
Although the play is not based on on any single real-life case, the play is informed by extensive research into the lives of Mary Bell a girl who (at barely 11 years old) murdered two little boys (aged 3 and 4 years old), Jon Venables and Robert Thompson (10-year-old boys, who abducted, tortured, and murdered a two-year-old) and other less reported cases of children who have killed.
The cast is comprised of Abigail Hood, Kevin Tomlinson, Lauren Downie, Lisa Ellis, Sarah Waddell and Steve Hay.
