Love and hate are intimately entwined.

As this story unfolds we see love in its many guises – but does it come with conditions? Growing up and finding out who you are is hard enough for many teenagers, but for Zak, it was harder than most. Different viewpoints of the same situations can cause conflict and ultimately pain, but as everyone is keen to get their voice heard, who is listening to Zak?

Often when someone attempts suicide, the first question asked is ‘Why?’ With a mixture of dance, animation, film and theatre we unravel the relationships around Zak to examine what led him to this point of desperation.

Suitable for an audience of approximately 12yrs+. Contains strong language and themes of suicide.

Tickets £6, approx running time 80 minutes
