Sam's Story

Stage drama performed by Streetwise 2000. Dir. Jacqui Carroll (75mins).

We first meet Sam at the age of twelve in a pretty life of happy possibilities; a bright and popular child. Her first major mistake is to witness a crime whose repercussions take her away from all that is positive and we look on as she is sucked in to a world where it’s easier to make life long enemies than casual friends. She sinks to depths we can only have nightmares about and sadly she excels in this competitive cut-throat underworld. Before too long, more than one person wants to take her away from it all, for good.
In very murky waters we present a murder mystery for all, where a bloodied knife or smoking gun are not the only evidence of guilt….come see, come judge, come point the finger, but more than anything else, come caring. (Synopsis by Paddy Wagon)
