About this show
Psychologists say inside everyone is a child screaming to be loved. But all this adult child screams for is lager, a wank and late-night TV. Being a woman in your twenties is hard, being a terminal layabout is... not harder, but that doesn’t stop Cass whining about it. Best friend Georgie wants Cass to make something of life (and pay her half of the rent), as the audience is jettisoned through a kaleidoscope of snapshots all twenty-somethings relate to: botched interviews, unrequited ‘love’, public hysteria, and yearning for a childhood innocence you'll never return to.

Bloody Knees is wonderfully written, accurately capturing the bleak and blurry lifestyle of a ‘self confessed terminal layabout’.
