Enter the dazzling, chaotic world of Adam & Eve. They depict a very different Eden. On a council estate where cheap booze flows as freely as the wild experiences of the teenagers that live there, friendships mean everything and families are left behind. Funny, tragic and delightful, it's ‘Catcher in the Rye meets the Arctic Monkeys’

The first stage adaptation of Richard Milward’s remarkable debut novel, Apples is a co-production between Northern Stage and Company of Angels.
