The first stage adaptation of Apples, the remarkable debut novel by North East author, Richard Milward will reach Northern Stage on September 8-25 and is set to encorporate a series of music events featuring UMT:BEATS DJs and others.
Described as "Catcher in the Rye meets The Arctic Monkeys" Apples is a modern take on the story of Adam and Eve.
Production Info:
Enter the world of Adam and Eve. It is a very different Eden. It’s a world of beauty, deprivation, colour and fear. Eve has tasted every kind of apple. Adam hasn’t tasted anything at all. When two such different people meet, is paradise lost or might it be found?
Six fifteen year olds taste the delights and horrors of everything teenage life has to offer in equally humorous and shocking measure.
Shameless, ruthless and intensely poetic, Apples is dazzling, tragicomic love story of adolescence.
“ The drugs, the sex, the boozing… it all smacks beautifully of the real thing.”
