Holes in the Skin

the long version

"Fifteen-year-old Kerry and her mum have moved to a council estate. Kerry hates it. She hates her mum's new man too. But when she meets a boy in the playground and asks him to do something about it, she finds herself adrift in a landscape of physical brutality, drugs - and, eventually, love. Premiered at the Chichester Festival's Minerva Theatre, Robert Holman's gripping new play explores the nature of violence and the possibility of redemption."--Back cover.
