Description
In this collection, Chris Craddock tackles the weighty issues of suicide, drug and alcohol abuse, and sex and pregnancy in the lives of teens and their families with humour, insight, and candid reality. Throughout all three plays subversive wit and outright laugh-ability keep students, parents and teachers entertained, while building new awareness of these significant social issues.
