Bones

A gripping black comedy by an award-winning new voice from the North East.

It's the 1960s and we're in the back of a run-down porn cinema in Gateshead, North East England. The Cinema’s owner has borrowed money from a local gangster and young Abel Stein takes a dislike to a cockney punter called Reg, knocks him out with a plastic charity collection box and stuffs him in a cupboard.

As Abel, his brother and two associates keep watch over Reg, the grapevine informs them that the Krays are in town…… What do you do when you've inadvertently kidnapped England's most scary man? And what will you do when his infamous and psychotic twin brother comes looking for him?

As you will imagine if you've kidnapped Reggie Kray, the language in this play is not for the faint hearted!
