A coming-of-age play about the tough choices in life and friendship
that teenagers – all of us – have to grapple with at some point in our lives.
They’re the BFFs behind Honshu Kingdom’s next superstar avatar @SimCos3000, and they’re on a quest to become the next YouTube sensation. With content and merch and uncontainable ambition, Simran and Marcos are two teenagers with a plan. A laminated plan.
Now the maybe-not-so-invincible duo face their greatest challenge: a rival gamer, a harsh teacher and a family secret threaten everything, laminated or otherwise. Enter Marcos’ grandad. He’s called Gramps and he’s full of stories. But his latest? Well, it might just take the cake. The impatient teens don’t think much of his tale of the Good Wolf and the Bad Wolf running around inside us. But as jealousy and bad choices push them apart, Simran and Marcos discover there may be some truth to Gramps’ story after all. Is it too late? Have they have ruined their friendship…forever?
As a child growing up in care, how do you see your life, your identity represented in the world?
“Your life isn’t yours anymore, your life is everybody else’s and their interpretation of you…”
I would like to dedicate this to Fear,
And me,
And Google.
It’s Christmas day
The kids are screaming with delight
On Sesame Street they are setting another place for dinner
Harry Potter is glad he is staying at school
And Tracy Beaker is up to something
