Run

by Stephen Laughton

Overview

Yonni is a seventeen-year-old gay Jewish kid. It’s the last day of term and he’s avoiding everything. The only person he wants to be around, think about, be about... is Adam.

And as his night unfolds and falls into chaos – some of it real, some of it not – Yonni pulls us into his world. A world filled with school riots, first loves, beached whales, political demonstrations, sunshine, cinema, sex and rebellion.

Editorial Reviews

"A quietly extraordinary piece of work... artful, honest and deeply romantic, whilst still being devastating in its meditations on modern anti-Semitism."
