Kate, Sam and Pete are stuck. The town they live in doesn't have much going on. But they don't really care about that when they've got cheap cider and their whole lives ahead of them.
And they're going to break away anyway. Someone's about to get a car. And all roads go somewhere else. Right?
Island Town is bittersweet story about friendship, hope and dreams of an escape.
Written by Simon Longman, recipient of the 2018 George Devine Award for Most Promising Playwright (Gundog; Royal Court).
