Getting The Breaks

    by Derek Webb



Synopsis

nologo.jpgJason and Zoe were going out together.  Now Zoe claims she is pregnant – and tells her teacher Miss Priestly. Ben and Sarah are friends. He is unhappy that his mother won't let him out at night.  Sarah thinks he should stand up for himself. Berwyn dreams of getting the perfect break in snooker and beating the record.

We hear from all these teenagers, their hopes and fears.  We begin to understand a little of what makes them who they are. When Zoe attempts suicide, lives converge, briefly touching, before going their own way again.

“This is a play that a young audience would enjoy and the author should be congratulated for creating an educational script that avoids preaching.” Amateur Stage magazine review
