<p>In<i> Nothing </i>eight young people - including a Vandal, a Stalker and a Porn Girl - recount their experiences, capturing the apathy rampant in today's youth. <br><br>Yet <i>Nothing</i> is much more than a series of monologues. It is about - among other things - cupcakes, action films, crap television, shitting, sex, buses and stalking. It is about alienation and being young.<br><br>Initially written as eight monologues by Lulu Raczka (winner of the Sunday Times Young Playwriting Award), <i>Nothing</i> asks questions about the nature of theatre itself.
