'It's about time someone said no - someone like you' Jamie's dad's just been sent down. Megan's planning to run away to find her real dad. Clayton's back in town and keen to play the father figure. When three lost souls find themselves washed-up on the banks of a disused canal, it quickly becomes clear that there are some big choices to be made this summer - life and death choices. Inspired by the real-life events leading up to the killing of Fred Barras by farmer Tony Martin, up and coming Derby born playwright Laura Lomas has written an unsettling portrait of teenage life on the edge of a Midlands market town - a gripping drama of revenge and redemption. More 'New Perspectives' on life in the rural East Midlands from the region's favourite touring theatre company, this time in a bold new production that will be of particular interest to teenage and young adult audiences. NB: Wasteland contains strong language! Running Time 80 mins. Age 14+
