Green Leaves Fall
by Corey Campbell
Brixton, 1981. In the aftermath of the riots, 14 year old Kieran Brown finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings as he is adopted by an upper class family in Oxford. His new family send him to St Edwards, a prestigious boys school, with his new brother George. We follow his journey as he strives to fit into this new environment, as his classmates struggle to accept this new face and as he tries to find his identity. George is also desperate to make his mark. Dreaming of becoming a journalist he has to overcome the nepotism that effects even the school paper. As Kieran starts to believe he has found his place and dreams of making something of himself he leaves school and discovers it’s not as easy as he thinks.
This play explores some of the most pressing social issues of our time – Inequality, Unemployment and Radicalisation.
