Title: Bright Phoenix
Description: "On the run from tragedy, Lucas escaped Liverpool -- then a city cast aside, a city crumbling. Now he's back, the old gang don't rush to welcome him home and ghosts haunt the ruins of their childhood playgrounds. The city chases renaissance: could his love affair with childhood sweetheart Lizzie blossom again too? Bright Phoenix is a wild, dream-like play about the carnival of the city at night; about a gang of rebel kids who still don't quite fit in as grown-ups; and about their love for a dying cinema and their mad plan to bring it back to life like a phoenix in the night. Featuring music by Martin Heslop, Jeff Young's epic and poetic play reveals the magic of forgotten places and dreaming beneath the stars."--Page [4] of cover.
