Knock Down Ginger

Luke is 15 and looking for respect. Growing up on a council estate isn’t easy, especially when your mother’s got a new man in her life. A place where fast cars and fast money are the ultimate status, Luke befriends Nelson who wants to teach him that fear breeds respect. Charlie, an old friend of the family, is on to Nelson’s game. Armed with a lifetime of ‘been there and done that’, how can he persuade Luke to give up and play straight? Or is Luke too far gone to call game over? Knock Down Ginger premiered at the Warehouse Theatre, Croydon, in June 2003.
