VL - (Modern Plays) by Kieran Hurley & Gary McNair (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Winner of a Fringe First Award 2024
Winner of the Popcorn Writing Award 2024

Here, you. Are you a VL?

Max and Stevie are just two wee guys trying to survive in an ordinary Scottish secondary school. But to survive, sometimes you need to hide. And there's no hiding when you're a VL. A VL is a Virgin Lips. It means you've never kissed a lassie, or a laddie. But it's so much more than that. And the longer you stay a VL, the more of a VL you become.

Kieran Hurley and Gary McNair, the Fringe First Award-winning writers of Square Go, team up again for another raucous and riotous comedy about status in a chaotic hormonal pressure cooker...

This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at Paines Plough's Roundabout, produced by Francesca Moody Productions at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in August 2024.
