About this ebook
Of course – as you've no doubt guessed – there's a big 'But Then' moment heading this way...
It's a sunny, spring day in East London.
On a street corner, two teenagers kiss.
One of them is Toni. This is her first kiss.
It makes her very happy.
But someone is watching.
Someone who doesn't care about her happiness at all.
And they're about to change Toni's life... forever.
Philip Ridley's thrilling new play is a startling exploration of identity, memory, love, and the lengths it takes someone to free themselves from the web of their past.
