When you're King of the City There's only one way you can go… Down!

UNDERWORLD is an original play focusing on issues around gun culture - By turns humorous, violent, passionate and lyrical - UNDERWORLD examines the place of loyalty, love and sacrifice in a world of violence, greed, corruption and murder.

The Time - 2010.

The Place - 'River' City

The superdrug 'Heaven' has led to bloody battles for control of lucrative markets and turf, leaving many dead. 'Jango Ray', leader of the Calvary Hill crew, calls a truce between the five top crews... but are his motives all they seem?…

 

Performed at The Zion Arts Centre, Manchester during April 2004, extracts were filmed for video and used to explore the issues of Gun Crime with Young people in Manchester.
