About this ebook
A surreal, dreamlike and hilarious play exploring the pressures and transformations that happen to teenagers as they grow up.
Otto’s parents have big plans for him. His mum thinks he’s ‘Cambridge material’. His dad wants him to play for Arsenal. It’s a lot of pressure, but Otto has it under control.
Until one morning, when Otto wakes up feeling pretty peculiar... discovering, unexpectedly, he’s been transformed into a skunk.
Inspired by Kafka’s novella The Metamorphosis, Skunk was first performed at Soho Theatre, produced by the National Youth Theatre.
Multiplay Drama is an exciting new series of large-cast plays, specifically written to be performed by and appeal to older teenagers and young adults.
