Description

“…And we watch American men play with knives on the internet 

For entertainment…

Flicking, Spinning, Twisting…they say,

That, is a thing of beauty…”

Balisong is a story about Finlay Richards. A name that everyone at school knows. An average fifteen-year-old boy who just wants to be seen. But you won’t see Finn. You won’t ever meet him. Balisong is a play written for schools as part of the No Knives Better Lives Programme promoting positive and active citizenship among young people when they become aware of a pupil carrying a knife.

Recommissioned twice, Balisong has toured schools in every local authority in Scotland. It was nominated for the Partnership Award at the Herald Society Awards and the Collaboration Award at the Creative Edinburgh Awards in 2018.
