Growing Pains

'He’s got a knife, and he’s not afraid to use it. How did this likeable, working-class young Northerner end up poised and ready to stab someone, staring into the red of their eyes?'

An explosive combination of spoken word, theatre and original songs, genre busting Growing Pains takes us on a journey from heartache to redemption, against the backdrop of Ladbrokes, broke lads, and shit dads.

Following a sell-out run at Edinburgh Festival and a critically acclaimed UK Tour, Growing Pains returns to Battersea Arts Centre.
