About Shook

Nominated for seven Off-West End Awards: Best Production, Best New Play, Most Promising Playwright, Best Director (Plays), Best Set Design, Best Sound Design and Best Performance Ensemble. “He’ll look different. My little boy. When I get out. Like… to the picture I’ve got in my head. Be like meeting him all over again. Be a whole new start.” Instead of GCSEs, Cain, Riyad and Jonjo got sentences. Locked up in a young offenders’ institution, they trade sweets, chat shit, kill time – and await fatherhood. Grace’s job is to turn these teenagers into parents, but can they grow up quickly enough to escape the system? Winner of the 2019 Papatango New Writing Prize from 1,406 entries. Papatango’s original production transfers to the West End after a sensational UK tour which broke box office records, won rave reviews and earned multiple award nominations.
