Synopsis

Lynette is deeply entangled in the tumultuous world of a seaside town. Struggling with a broken family and the harsh realities of youth unemployment, Lynette’s story is one of survival amidst chaos. As she navigates relationships with her troubled brother, estranged mother, and a manipulative local thug, the play exposes the stark choices faced by those on society’s margins. With raw dialogue and vivid characters, Upton paints a gritty portrait of resilience and despair in contemporary Britain
