Photo Flash: Mini Mall Theatre presents BALLISTIC
Transferring to London from the Edinburgh Fringe, Ballistic is hard hitting new writing inspired by the "manifesto" of Elliot Rodgers, who killed six people and injured fourteen others near the campus of University of California, before killing himself in 2014. Closer to home gun crime offences in London last year surged by 42% (2,544 gun crime offences from April 2016 to April 2017 compared to 1,793 offences from 2015 until 2016). "Toxic masculinity" and ever increasing access to vicious video games and movies, in combination with being able to purchase anything on the "dark web" makes for a sobering depiction of what can spiral out of control in a young man's life.
