BONES: A new play by Jane Upton

'She doesn’t feel like my mum. She doesn’t do things mum’s do. She gets leathered and smacked up and tries to shag my mates.'

Nottingham - 1998. Heavy with the responsibility of caring for his broken mum and her baby and pining for a past of Panda Pops, eggy bread and Brian Clough, 19 year-old Mark knows he has to do something drastic. But will he make the chilling choice that will change things forever?

An achingly honest portrayal of a boy struggling to find his place in a world that doesn’t want him. Bones will break your heart, spit you out and then make you wonder why you cared in the first place.
