📱 eBook en inglés THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF SMACK AND CRACK

The history of Manchester jumps off its axis. The history of England jumps off its axis. 2 a.m., 8th July, 1981, all the major cities of England burn.

Crackling with anger, humour and authenticity, Ed Edwards play The Political History of Smack and Crack chronicles the fallout for communities crushed by the heroin epidemic at the height of Thatcherism.

Shot through with home truths about the road to recovery, this is an epic love song to a lost generation inspired by the playwrights own personal experience.

The Political History of Smack and Crack was shortlisted for the Theatre503 Playwriting Award. It was first performed in Paines Ploughs Roundabout at Summerhall at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London, produced by Most Wanted and Offstage Theatre in association with W14 Productions, Alastair Michael and Soho (co-commissioners).

A terrific honest, funny, moving firecracker of a play Roy Williams OBE
