AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'"The Share" It is a breath-stoppingly violent work in which two young men decide to kill a drug dealer, urged on by a one-eyed kid. They kill the man - and then, offended by the kid's story of his own homosexual violence - they blind him with a broken bottle. The language of the play is lightening sharp - and unremittingly vulgar' (ABC Arts Today with Michael Cathcart Thursday 05/07/2001).
