This is a rather unusual musical as it is put together by a collection of songs that are performed by anxious children. The Main theme is first and foremost children who have run away from broken homes but RUNAWAYS also investigates the world that they so desperately wish to leave behind.
Unfortunately the issues in this musical become more and more relevant…
