Rosia
Bay, Gibraltar, 1982. Doink, Jock and Darren have the longest, hottest
summer ahead - yomping, watching pirate copies of Rambo and fighting
the local lads over a lucrative fleet of octopus that have just
hit the Rock.
John Tiffany's sinewy production is a winner, boasting terrific
performances from its young cast.  |

With
Darren's fit older sister Tracy to sell the bounty, their dominance
of Rosia Bay seems assured. But for the sons and daughters of the
British Forces, another war beginning in the South Atlantic will
soon bring a dark heart to their world.
A sensitive compelling account of friendship, rivalry and
rites of passage, Catch it if you can.

Following
Gagarin Way, for his second play Gregory Burke draws on his own
experiences growing up in a family stationed in Gibraltar during
the Falklands War where he witnessed the British warships leaving
Europe for the South Atlantic. The Straits is spun with his unique
brand of unflinching honesty and tragic humour.
