Opening April 15th for one week only at the Three Minute Theatre in Manchester, award winning Vertigo Theatre Productions (Mysterious Skin, M, OUT, Die, Mommie, Die, EXAM) bring the powerful drama RAGE back to the city in a newly rewritten version after the show's premiere in 2009.
Written and directed by Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope RAGE looks at the links between high school mass shootings in America and bullying.
It's a normal day, in a normal American town at a normal American high school, but as the students sit in class a fellow student opens fire on the school killing and injuring many of his classmates. In the immediate aftermath several of the students are on lockdown in one classroom as the police sweep the vast campus, it's not long before the teens, all from different social cliques in the school begin to challenge each other on the reasons the shooting happened and the bullying which they all believe led to the shooter carrying out the terrifying attack. Today seven students and one teacher will be more honest with each other than ever before.
The cast features Richard Allen and David Edward Lock (both from Mysterious Skin) as well as Heather Errington, Celine Constantinides, Natasha Horn, Kyle Martin, Julia Walsh and Conor Hanifin.
