Junk
by Melvin Burgess, adapted for the stage by John Retallack

Junk caused a storm of controversy when it was published in 1996, due to its graphic descriptions of underage sex, hard drug abuse and prostitution. John Retallack's adaptation for the stage shows Junk as the love story that it is, a celebration of nonconformist youth culture emerging from punk and other alternative lifestyles.
