Acclaimed playwright Conor McKee brings his 2011 sell-out smash Thrasher back to the region on a national tour.

Thrasher tracks six people spiralling towards self destruction while trying to save themselves and protect what’s left of their relationships. Over the course of one night, betrayal and debt threaten to rip them apart.

Directed by Wyllie Longmore (The National Theatre, The Royal Exchange Theatre) with an original score by renowned composer Michael Cretu (Nine Steps, The Balkan Connection), Thrasher will also be giving local playwrights at each venue the opportunity to experience the script development process used by his company.
