Following a reading as part of Vibrant 2013 – A Festival of Finborough Playwrights, the world premiere of a new play from Liverpool playwright Dameon Garnett.

At seventeen years old, Scott is facing a future that is as uncertain as his past. The death of his adopted mother throws his life into chaos, and now he finds himself having to fit in with a new middle-class family, and the birth-mother he never knew. Class differences soon reach fever pitch, and guilt has the winning hand. Whoever thought change would be this difficult, and what is Scott hiding under the bed?
