box of tricks
World Première of
Pale Skin
Leo Richardson
Director: Hannah Tyrrell-Pinder
"There are no mirrors in this house and last time I saw my face it was bruised and swollen. I touch it and it feels like my face again, but I don’t know."
At fourteen, Amy was binge drinking. At sixteen, she developed a cocaine addiction. At eighteen, she was already in rehab. At twenty, she met Jamie.
One spoiled identity. One chance to leave it all behind.
A play about addiction, control and escape. Everyone has something to lose. Everyone is scared of losing it. Some will do everything they can not to.
In December 2007, Box of Tricks presented a rehearsed reading of Pale Skin at the White Bear as part of NEW TRICKS.
