'Where are the grown-ups to do something, where are the grown-ups in this story?' Three countries. Three teenagers. One average, life-altering day. A young man battles with feelings of love and violence. Another is stuck with the image of someone being pushed from a rooftop. And a girl must choose between her friends and her conscience. Natives is a rallying cry to a generation of unlikely heroes and celebrates coming of age online in a chaotic world. It premiered at Southwark Playhouse in March 2017.
