26 Feb 2015 - 7 Mar 2015 - Theatre at Birmingham Rep
WORLD PREMIERE
This’ll be good. Has to be. Three boys and a mountain.
Luke, Zia and Tommy have known each other for forever. With Luke about to leave for university it’s time for one last adventure together. Armed with Zia’s mix CD and a bag of Brummie pride, they set off to conquer Snowdon. But when their jaunt takes an unexpected turn they are forced to face up to the reality of why they needed the trip in the first place.
Back Down is the highly-anticipated first play by Birmingham-born Steven Camden, more commonly known as the awarding-winning performance poet Polarbear. Steven has crafted a must-see coming-of-age story that is both insightful and incredibly funny.
