Details

Oliver Walzer is shy, bookish, Jewish. He doesn't know how to talk to girls. But he can slice, flick and volley a ping pong ball better than any teenager in Manchester. When Sheeny Waxman takes him under his wing on the Akiva Social Club Table Tennis team, Oliver channels his frustrated adolescent lust into the game he loves. That is until the heart-breaking Lorna Peachley and the prospect of a place at Cambridge take his eye off the ball. World Premiere
