Age of Consent

A chillingly powerful play exposing the mind of a child-killer, this delves into the psyche of two characters - one a teenager awaiting his release from a correctional facilty for the murder of a child, the other the mother of a child performer whose main rule of entertainment is the Three Ts - Talent, Teeth & Tits

What unites them is a sense of denial as well as the humanity that can exist even behind the most monstrous abuse

Acutely topical, darkly satirical and brutally uncompromising - these two monologues explore the shattering of childhood innocence

"The play opens up a moral minefield. Who can, or should, consent to what? Can anyone consent to something on the behalf of another? What power can anyone, a person or a community, have over the mind and life of another? Morris's play sends you out in a state of moral turbulence" ~ John Peter, Sunday Times

"For once, the play at the eye of an Edinburgh storm is a good one" ~ Guardian
