So maybe I just want to opt out you know? Maybe I don't to be part of the master plan. The big assembly line in the sky.
Summer in small-town America. Aimee Stright wants to be Banksy in a town that hates vandals. As outsiders investigate what happened on the day she walked into a church with a gun, it seems Aimee is one against the world and the world wants to know why.
Shortlisted for the Bruntwood Playwriting Prize, I And The Village is a coming-of-age story that asks pointed questions about conformity, dissent and America's devotion to guns.
The play received its world premiere at Theatre503, London, on 9 June 2015.
