What I Learned from Johnny Bevan

At university, two worlds collide. Johnny Bevan, the whip-smart, mercurial kid from a city council estate, saves Nick Burton from living his father's safe life, but it ends tragically. Years later, a world-weary Nick is reminded of their friendship. Can Johnny save Nick again? Luke Wright makes his theatre debut with a story of friendship, class and a really bad idea for a festival. All told in beautifully deft and funny verse. 'Some of the most incisive writing you'll see' (Exeunt). ***** (Scotsman, List).
