Vex is a gripping drama about youth, dreams and darkness. A theatre piece that mixes poetic hip-hop, Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men, turn tables and text.  Set in the turbulent terrain of an inner city comprehensive, Vex is the story of one boy, one gun and a classroom full of dreams…

Simon Parker is a writer and teacher and the inspiration for Vex comes directly from the classroom. He has collaborated with young adults in 2007 as part of the BBC Blast tour and is continuing to workshop the text with a school in Newham.  Students will have the opportunity to workshop the play, create a visual narrative and with the help from sound artist, Excalibah, will be devising a sound-scape for the play.
