The plays Themes And Issues

Blackout is a true story based on a 15 year old Young boy charged with attempted murder. He doesn't remember how he got to the secure care unit he finds himself in however he tries to piece together the events leading up to...that night. This is a very serious play and has to be portrayed correctly to the audience and not out of context.
The play itself tackles a lot of serious issues in society today such as : Domestic violence, Bullying, Deep depression, and I think the way they are put out there makes it even more effective. The play is very sharp, shocking and it has a edginess that is hard to let go of however you can't stop reading. Therefore the main issues of the play was the Bullying I think not just towards him but towards his mother and how this effected him from a young age and caused him to have anger problems and to hang around with the wrong crowd.
