First staged at Edinburgh's Traverse Theatre in 1998, 'Kill the Old Torture their Young' is an urban tragicomedy of alienation, as what could have been a hymn to a beautiful Scottish city becomes a muffled cry of rage against alienation and disconnection. A documentary maker returns to the place of his birth. His task is to film his impressions. Each of the individuals he encounters has a story to tell about the past or their life and aspirations in the city, but the question is whether anyone will listen.
