Description A possy of 5 mean looking street kids give a fragmented flurry of soliloquy, like bits of broken narrative which piece together their very personal stories of rape, incest, and abuse at home. These experiences are juxtaposed with their stories of life on the streets without shelter, without support and safety and ultimately without dignity.

The play deals with the rejection or abuse by parents and the subsequent loss of innocence in a child forced to live on the streets. (Jilea Carney Lowdown Oct 1987
