Crackling with anger, humour and authenticity, Ed Edwards' play chronicles the fallout for communities crushed by the heroin epidemic at the height of Thatcherism.
Shot through with home truths about the road to recovery, this is an epic love song to a lost generation inspired by the playwright's own personal experience.
The Political History of Smack and Crack was shortlisted for the Theatre503 Playwriting Award. It was first performed in Paines Plough ROUNDABOUT at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2018, before transferring to Soho Theatre, London.
