Alan Reye is bored. At fourteen his friends meet up every Friday night at the old railway station where they sample drink hash and ecstasy. He wants to join them but his parents are reluctant to let him out. However the opportunity presents itself and Alan takes it, promising himself he would never take drugs. The outcome however is very different. On the night a friend Susan tells him to close his eyes and open his mouth.  Thinking he is about to be kissed he follows instruction only to find she has placed an e-tab on his tongue. Swallow she orders and his innocence has ended.
 As the weeks pass and his state of addiction grows he becomes moody with his parents and slips backwards in his school work. Even the setback of a 'bad trip' only dampens his progress from one drug to another.

Benny meets his friends at the back of the industrial estate and shares in the contents of a bottle of vodka. It’s a start. He’s just turned fourteen.

As his father says ‘A drink wouldn’t done anyone any harm, don’t the French kids drink with their dinner, sure isn’t drink better than drugs’

Benny is brazen. He steals change at home so that he can enjoy his new found lifestyle. By sixteen he is frequenting the local pub where a blind eye is shown. He borrows from his friends and never returns the money. His needs are selfish, his friends dwindling as his drinking grows slowly out of control.
He is on the verge of been homeless. Is their any hope for Benny.

Based on true events inspired by the young people who attended AA and gave selfishly of their time in guiding the words and lines of this performance

An open space is all that required as with all the plays.
