Theatre play: Zigger Zagger by Peter Terson [more information]
Play synopsis: 'The play depicts with enormous vigour the story of Harry, a "football hooligan and his progress forwards from the end of his schooldays. Football is in fact only the background to the author’s real concern, which is the emptiness and futility facing so many youngsters today when they leave secondary school at fifteen, only to find themselves in a series of dead-end jobs. the play may indeed be called an important social document but its essential appeal lies in its exhilarating theatrical life’.
