About
Sparky is a bright but volatile 15-year-old boy on the brink of permanent exclusion from school. Then one day he falls under the spell of a seemingly psychic girl called Siouxsie and develops his own kinetic superpower. But will it save him or push him over the edge? Set in a high school in a small town on the west coast of Scotland, 'The Static' is a coming-of-age love story about what happens when our darkest dreams come true. Commissioned and produced by ThickSkin, it was first performed in August 2012 at Underbelly, Edinburgh.
