Spine by Clara Brennan

From fast-rising Channel 4 Playwrights’ Scheme winner Clara

 Brennan, comes a hilarious, pan-generational and heartbreaking

 call to arms for our modern age.

Spine charts the explosive friendship between a ferocious, wise-

cracking teenager and an elderly East End widow. Mischievous 

activist pensioner Glenda is hell-bent on leaving a political legacy 

and saving Amy from the Tory scrapheap because ‘there’s nothing 

more terrifying than a teenager with something to say’.

In this era of damaging coalition cuts and disillusionment, has

 politics forgotten people? Can we really take the power back? 

Amy is about to be forced to find out.
