The Rage

Clare Lizzimore's rapid-fire drama goes inside the head of Anthony - a boy full of rage. Starring Theo Barklem-Biggs, Lee Ross and Danusia Samal.

Clare Lizzimore's stylish rapid-fire drama takes us inside the head of Anthony: a boy full of rage.

But Anthony's rage is ruining his life. Now he's running from his past, starting again in a new place. But he's losing it at school. He's frightening his girlfriend.

Anger is what happens to us when we lose control of our lives. But is the anger inside him really Anthony's fault? Will it overtake him again? Will he do something even worse?

Or is today the day, when Anthony outruns what's inside him?
