The four plays in this volume were written for teenage audiences and deal with issues of gender, AIDS, disability, relationships, ethnic strife, crime, drugs and bullying.

In Who's Breaking? a young man, learning that he is HIV-positive, is forced to rethink his life and attitudes. At the heart of Listen is the fractured relationship between a deaf teenager and his uncomprehending father. Sleeping Dogs concerns the love affair between a Muslim boy and a Christian girl during the war in former Yugoslavia.
Through its three troubled protagonists, Wise Guys poses the central question addressed by all these plays: can young people caught up in self-destructive cycles break free of them?

These were all nominated for Writers Guild awards and THE DEARLY BELOVED won the award for best regional play in 1993. In 1999 Mike Alfreds commissioned BURIED ALIVE which played the southwest before coming in to Hampstead Theatre.
