A one-person play, with live percussion, exploring the horrors of bullying and victimisation. Geoff gets it from all sides. How can he stop the beatings from Mikey? Why does Geoff get picked on? Follow his jouney through reality and fantasy searching for a stop to the terror. With a mixture of rap and soul songs, dance, drumming, mime and story-telling we are confronted with some of his pain and anguish.
Written by Andy Hickson, this play does not preach or condescend, it is hard hitting, realistic and tells it as it is.
..you are sick, severly sick. Have you told your doctor? You ought to be put inside. Fancy having such a dick'ead for a son, I'm suprised your mother didn't have a heart attack when you were born! Now where's my homework ...?
