This compelling and vivid vision of a future New Zealand has all the ingredients to appeal to young adult readers and actors. The exhausted land is steadily being choked with thorn bushes and the oceans team with monsters. Society has broken down, and starving fugitives from the countryside crouch in the decayed ruins of a city where only the strongest survive. And yet this vision of dystopia is not unremittingly bleak - there is hope, and solutions are offered.

This play, like Bernard Gadd's The Home Dreaming Club, is ideal both for classroom drama and performance.
