Overview
Nottingham, 1998: 19-year-old Mark is living a life he never signed up
to. Caring for his drug-addict mum and her baby, Mark knows he has to
make a choice that could change things forever. But how far will he go?
The story of a boy trying to find his place in a world that doesn t want
him, Bones will chew you up, spit you out, then make you wonder why you
cared in the first place. First produced in Derby by Fifth Word in
2010, Bones went on to receive five-star reviews at the 2011 Edinburgh
Festival Fringe and to tour nationally in 2012, taking in 19 venues
across the UK. A poignant monologue full of emotionally-charged
passages, Bones is an excellent audition piece and especially suitable
for students undertaking their AS-level practical examination.
