Description
'People know, you're my boy. And they know better than to lay a fucking finger on you. See? You are safer here with me, than you have ever been.'
Liam's 17 years old, loves Dr Who and has lost his mum. He has had to move from London to Wales, to the valleys, to the middle of nowhere, to live with a dad he doesn't know. Whose nickname isn't Violence for nothing.

Reviews
-
'Resurgent Welsh playwright Gary Owen has a knack for getting inside the heads of troubled teens...Now he excels himself...the finesse of Owen's writing ably ranges from the local to the universal...Every teenager – and every recovering ex-teenager – should see this.'
Telegraph ????

'Gary Owen has written a seriously good play, set in small-town south Wales, about violence, love and loss... What is especially good about the play is its downright condemnation of a bullying male ethos and its acknowledgment that domestic violence has its own complexities... a fine play.'
The Guardian
