Little Criminals
by Dennis Foon
They’re eleven. They steal. They trash
and burn other people’s homes, and some even end up as killers. A
classical tragedy about an otherwise worthy and resourceful human being
whose destiny is subsumed by the neglect and dispassion of those who
should love and care for him. Des is a beast, but at the last moment,
as he locks himself into his elaborately decorated closet, we suddenly
understand him, want to nurture him…
“Foon allows children's voices
to speak.” —Prairie Fire
“Derives its gritty authenticity
from the interviews and first-hand encounters that were a part of Dennis
Foon’s homework… homework that has made him this country’s most
convincing and successful creator of stage work for young audiences.”
—Toronto Star
