Description: In a rundown porn cinema in 1960s Gateshead, two Jewish brothers are at war with each other. Their business is on the verge of bankruptcy and they owe a shedload of money to a local gangster. But all their problems seem to be over when one of them kidnaps Reggie Kray ... Sharp, uncompromising and witty, 'Bones' is a deliciously dark comedy about family ties, gangland warfare and a man in a dress. It premiered at Live Theatre, Newcastle in 1999.
