SCREENS

by Stephen Laughton

PRAISE FOR SCREENS

“The story that subsequently unfolds is so painfully honest that you cannot help but squirm in your seat. It so skillfully and beautifully speaks to anyone who has been bought up by a parent who came to the UK to give their children a ‘better life’.”

★★★★★

LGBTQ ARTS

Harlow. Just outside the M25.

Emine is more interested in a dead cat than her kids…Al is lost in Grindr, discovering that trying to have a love life is incompatible with his incessant need to mollycoddle his ungrateful, acid-tongued sister Ayşe - a fierce and intelligent young woman, drowning in the mire of social media.

Set against a hyper-modern online framework based on fleeting moments of connection, Screens is the story of a Turkish-Cypriot family barely treading water, clinging onto their sense of identity online, for real, and most importantly by inheritance.
