OFF OUT

by Adams, Gill

June, Danny, May and Mac — four people living life on the edge in the seedy and often dangerous world of prostitution. For June, it’s a way of life, the only way of getting the money to make ends meet. For her teenage son Danny, it’s all he’s known since the death of his grandmother. May does it for the money to buy her drugs, while Mac is a pimp, content to make his living from the earnings of the women around him. Theirs is an unforgiving world, motivated by money and fear in a day-to-day existence offering little hope but not without humour and poignancy. Winner of the 1994 Edinburgh Festival Scotsman Fringe First Award.
