"A major new voice in British theatre" (Scotsman)

Set around Limehouse Cut and the Lee River in East London, Herons is the disturbing and moving story of fourteen-year-old Billy, whose life has been made a misery by his father's actions. As the teenagers that surround him on the estate step up their campaign of bullying, the play escalates to a violent climax.

Commissioned by the Royal Court, Herons premiered there on 18 May 2001.
