punkplay is a play of ideas in the tradition of George Bernard Shaw, set as a coming of age play. Who is coming of age? Eighties punkers, who are always are on roller skates (literally) but don’t know it.
It’s funny. Serious funny. The humor is rude and crude but ― it’s the eighties and it is called punkplay.
