random by Debbie Tucker Green

random by Debbie Tucker Green

A powerful new play about a random shooting of a black kid outside his school. A young black woman starts talking about her day in a continuous present tense. She and her family are starting what they think is an ordinary day until the police show up with devastating news. Their world suddenly implodes.

'Remarkable.. gets right inside the characters, capturing the sudden devastation in their lives, the unbearable sense of loss... the writing seems to penetrate the very heart of grief... whisks the audience from laughter to comfortless sorrow in less than an hour'

* Telegraph *

'A poet's feel for rhythm, a keen ear for urban patois, and the knack of telling a story elliptically, with vivid flecks of detail'

* Independent *

'debbie tucker green's writing is so raw and immediate that it can feel as if she's hacking into your heart with a rusty tin opener'
