Hoods

by Real TV

"Probably the most exciting piece of theatre I've seen in a school for years. Sophisticated in style, artistically (and refreshingly!) brilliant script, excellent performances."

Braemar College

 

Two Hoods ride the trains each night to a wrecking yard on the outskirts of the city. Here, in this cemetery of stories, they are storytellers with the power to fast forward, pause and rewind.

Tonight, they tell the story of three kids left in a car...

It’s Friday, KFC night and the last day of school before Christmas. Kyle, Jessie and baby brother Troy are waiting in the car for their Mum. Kyle broods in the front seat with visions of Sony Playstation dancing in his head while Jessie begs him for a game of eye spy. As night closes in, the shopping centre shuts down, their Mum still hasn’t come back and the baby won’t stop crying.

From the creators of Children of the Black Skirt comes a contemporary tale of Hansel and Gretel.
