'Mudlarks' is a tragic, beautifully realised play about three young men trapped at the wrong end of the river. On the muddy banks of the Thames, downstream from the bright lights of London, three boys hide from the police after a night of recklessness. As morning dawns, their options diminish and just two questions remain: do they have the power to determine their own fates, or are they destined to sink into the mud? Donoghue's debut play exposes the culture she grew up with. With brutal honesty it explores teenagers' impulse to dream, and its futility in a reality that has no space for dreamers. It was first presented at the High Tide Festival in Suffolk in May 2012.
