Graeae Theatre Company: Bad Lads
Tickets: £20 (£18)
Under 26s: £15
All performances will be audio described, creatively captioned and presented in a relaxed environment.
A story of oppression and resilience.
Bad Lads tells the gripping and devastating true story of the boys held at Medomsley Youth Detention Centre in County Durham in the 1980s— sold to the public as a "short, sharp shock" for wayward youth, the reality hid something much darker.
The system has failed these working-class men. At a time when the cry for accountability is louder than ever, Bad Lads demands remembrance and calls for justice.
A Graeae production in association with Live Theatre. A new play by Mike Kenny, created from the testimonies of the Medomsley boys. Directed by Jenny Sealey.
