Hench is sixteen, Bobbie is thirteen. They're home alone in Feltham with their dog Taliban; playing PlayStation, streaming porn, watching the world go by. Sometimes their mum Maggie visits, usually with empty pockets and empty promises. Then Jenny shows up. This Bruntwood Prize–winning play explores a childhood lived without boundaries and the consequences of growing up on your own.

Recensione:
A terrifying, witty and compassionate study of the awful penalties of growing up alone and without boundaries... exquisitely touching... a tragedy of desperate emotional denial and inarticulacy. --Independent
Jordan's writing has an enormous vigour and vitality, with an emotional undertow that sucks the tears right out of your ducts... raw, rude and often bleakly funny... trailing tenderness and terror. --Arts Desk
The dynamic range of Jordan's writing is extraordinary. It's rare for a play to encompass such extremes of violence and tenderness... achieves the uncommon feat of being difficult to watch yet easy to love... Anyone with a yen for consummately well-crafted drama should seek it out. FIVE STARS. --Guardian
