Title: Bottleneck
Description: London: Oberon Books, 2012. First Edition. Original decorated wrappers. Slight wear to spine, covers & corners. Book slightly warped. ; 20.7 x 13 x 0.5 cms; 55 pages; Bottleneck is a poignant one-man play by Luke Barnes, first performed at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2012. Set in Liverpool in 1989, it follows 14-year-old Greg, a cheeky, football-obsessed teenager navigating the challenges of adolescence. His life revolves around supporting Liverpool FC, dealing with a difficult relationship with his father, and trying to understand girls. As Greg approaches his 15th birthday, he steals tickets to a Liverpool away game in an attempt to prove he's growing up. What begins as a humorous, coming-of-age story takes a tragic turn as the narrative leads to the Hillsborough disaster—an event in which 96 football fans died due to stadium overcrowding. The play is notable for its emotional depth and the way it transitions from youthful exuberance to profound tragedy. It explores themes of youth, identity, and how historical events can deeply affect individual lives. Greg's innocence and vulnerability are central to the story, making the eventual shift in tone all the more powerful.. Very Good- with no dust jacket .
