Wee Andy examines what happens to an innocent young lad whose life is shattered when he is attacked by a gang. It is the story of how medical services try to repair the physical damage, how his mother tries to keep him safe, and how Wee Andy tries to imagine a life for himself in a world bordered by four local streets – where empathy and care are hard to come by.

Written and spoken in shakespeare style iambic pentameter

In reply to Fleeto by Paddy Cunneen a world where empathy & care are hard to come by. Another day, another young lad attacked by a gang. Another life shattered & Wee Andy who tries to imagine a different life. ***** British Theatre Guide.

***** British Theatre Guide

****‘Cunneen uses a rich, flexible iambic pentameter to create a new kind of verse drama, holding the drag of unreflecting naturalism at bay, and emphasising the truly tragic dimension of the carnage’ Joyce McMillan, Scotsman on Wee Andy
