Second Bounce
Written and Performed by Michael Lightfoot and Tom Cantrell
Directed by Kate Lovell
Technical Direction by James Hirst
When you're stuck in a rut, the last thing you should do is attend your school reunion...
Second Bounce is a play about choices. Two old friends meet for their school reunion. David, well off and successful, stays with Luke, who apart from juggling equipment and a mislaid piece of heather, has nothing. As the tension increases, and the facades are stripped, long avoided decisions have to be made.
