Writer and actor Liam Lambie said: "I am really excited to bring this show to Glasgow, it is something that needs to be highlighted.

"Growing up in the 90s and early noughties was a tough time, especially in Govan where the play is set when you had different gangs in the area fighting.

"We aim to be able to tell the story of what life was like then with the neds.

"Everyone I have spoke to has said that they can identify every character on stage with someone in their life."

He added: "I have written (the play) which tackles gang culture and knife crime, telling the story of one of the many young teams who used to pollute the streets of Glasgow during the late 90s/ early 00's 

"We find that the use of humour is a good way to be able to get our point across, as well as keep people engaged.

"And at points, we aim to get people to look past the characters on the stage and see the message behind why we are doing it."
