Description: David, Kojo and Sharon grew up on a London estate. Now in their mid-20s, they're eyeing another kind of life. But how do you choose the right path when temptation lies around every corner? If your emotional or financial debt is sky high, how do you buy your way out? Bola Agbaje's play asks whether being out of the system might be just as good as being in it. Agbaje's energetic, vibrant dialogue captures the dynamic rhythm of spoken language and she portrays an under-represented slice of society with skill and compassion. 'Off the Endz' premiered at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in February 2010.
