Hey Folks

Can you help me out, looking for plays about teenagers or young adults, drama would be better but not ruling out comedy. Plays with an edge would be great (we just produced a hugely successful production of Mysterious Skin here in the UK which of course is very dark, we love that kind of thing)

Thanks

I think the OP was asking for plays, not musicals.

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Does it have to be full length? There's a great one act play called Removing the Glove that is WONDERFUL. The whole thing is an allegory for coming out of the closet. It is a comedy, however.


It IS edgy, however.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

It does not to be full length im afraid.

We actually did the UK Premiere of Dog Sees God - Confessions of a Teenage Blockhead back in 2008 and transfered it in 2009.

This is a stretch but how about PILLOWMAN? It is about two brothers (young adults) dealing with a questionable childhood. More or less.

Bird of Prey really goes there. I strongly suggest looking into that.
