Taking Issue - Three Playwrights and a Theatre Company - includes Angel by Mark Catley & Thin Skin by Mike Kenny & Grass by Mary Cooper

This book is a collection of three plays commissioned by the Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah for teenage and young adult audiences

The plays represent, in radically different ways, a continuation and development of an early Blah Blah Blah principle - to produce thematically and aesthetically challenging, unpatronising work for young people

Mike Kenny's Thin Skin, Mary Cooper's Grass and Mark Catley's Angel explore the reasons people behave in the way they d

They show that behaviour - sometimes quite brutally - and they challenge aspects of that behaviour, but they are never lessons in how to behave

From its base in Leeds Theatre Company Blah Blah Blah has been touring nationally for nearly twenty years

Within the field of theatre for young people, its schools, youth club and small scale touring work is well know for its breath and originality
