DEAD SET STRAIGHT

by Andrea Lemon

Dingo, Jackie and Johnnie are three kids who live in a housing estate in the inner city. They constantly find themselves on the wrong side of the law. Sometimes they revel in it, sometimes they hate it. Dingo is picked up by the cops for committing an armed burglary. Jackie is picked up for being homeless. Johnny gets pushed just a bit too far by the cops, who stop him for questioning in the street every other night, and he finally lashes out. This play is a tough look at a tough problem and offers no solutions. It raises many questions.
