Title: Chalk Farm
Description: Maggie is just in from Sainsbury's Local to make a quick sandwich for Jamie. He likes his cheese and pickle. With the crusts off. A good heart, that lad. Not like those other boys around here. You know what boys are like. Laws unto themselves once they reach that age. But it's those other boys, really. Not Jamie. A boy with a Transformers lunch box? What harm is he to anybody? This new monologue written by Julia Taudevin and Kieran Hurley explores love, responsibility, and the culture of blame and retribution surrounding the 2011 English riots.
