  This humourous and thought-provoking play tells the story of Nicky, a teenager on the run. It is part of the Plays Plus series. Plays Plus is a series of playscripts which deal with important contemporary issues. Much more than a script, each one provides resource material which gives a framework for exploring issues in the classroom. Stimulus material includes poems, photographs, fact lists and extracts which are combined with suggestions for written work, discussion, role plays and drama workshops.
