The Melians

In Development, 2026

"I’m new to this! Sorry if I was being a little intense the other night."

A white woman and a teenage black boy meet night by night on a basketball court. A new play about community organising, youth work, the Peloponnesian War, and being 17.

Inspired by debbie tucker green's ear for eye, Amiri Bakara's Dutchman and Damien Chazelle's Whiplash.
