A sold out hit for the Blyth Festival, this play is based on the true story of 14 year old Steven Truscott's conviction and subsequent acquittal in the murder of his classmate Lynne Harper. "Playwright Beverley Cooper tackles this delicate subject with great sensitivity to the past, present and future, as she explores the far reaching effects of crime and punishment."
