What happens when you're in a hole What happens when that hole's inside you What do you do you fill it with to make yourself feel whole

Last year, 3 teenagers emailed the 20 Stories High Theatre Company to ask them if they could make a play about their friend Holly. This is how it unravelled

3 teenagers: So thats our story and we really want to tell it... and we want to act in it as well, and play ourselves cos actors wouldnt really be as convincing as us

20 Stories High: Its a very moving story but were really busy at the moment and also, to be honest, youre not really actors.

3 teenagers: But we really want to tell our story it says on your website that Everybody has a story to tell and their own way of telling it

20 Stories High: well, come back in a year, when were less busy, and lets talk

One Year Later We made the play with them WHOLE
