The Play

Are any of us unique? Or are we all merely photocopies of what has come before? Is anything we say or do truly original? These are just some of the philosophical ramblings debated by friends JP and Georgie as they sup their cans in an old, abandoned playground known as ‘Cider Park’. When they are joined by the much older Ritchie, each of the three men are forced to confront their pasts, their present and their futures as they finally come to understand what it means to be human.
