What happens when a teenage boy invades your weekend and refuses to go away Kevin, a divorced school teacher visits the Cornish coast expecting to spend some time with his son. But at the same hotel Lego, a troubled 14 year-old, is determined to compete for Kevins attention. Dino Mahoney draws his audience into the teachers dilemma with humour and a lightness of touch that skilfully illuminates the plays deeper, disturbing concerns.
