“Two new plays which ask what it is about British culture that drive young people into taking their own lives. Inspired by the recent events, but not set in Bridgend, the two plays are designed to exist independently, but seeing both completes a more fulfilling picture. Smith’s play follows Jacob’s journey, Hartley’s Chloe’s.”
