" I think life can be basically divided into two things – feelings – things: suspense – and surprise. Suspense is basically a feeling in your belly – the feeling that things are slowly going bad – surprise is basically a feeling in your brain – a gunshot – a feeling like wooooo. I prefer surprise to suspense. But that’s basically because I feel suspense all the time. I mean, all the time, you know? Or – I don’t know..."

I found this quite racist and disturbing and it feels like the author didn’t quite know what he was trying to denounce after all or where this was going…
There was some promise to it, the writing is very fluid and the rhythm of it works quite well but in the end it’s just pointless violence and a lot of bias.

An coming of age play that explores aspects such as racism, sexual behaviour, class and gang culture. Plenty of laugh out loud moments as well as uncomfortable moments - an interesting monologue that tackles a lot in a short amount of pages.

Read in one sitting, definitely interesting but didn’t really see the point in the play…

1.5 Racist. Interesting in terms of coming of age and realistic, but not pc. Only read because of LAMDA.
