A surreal, dreamlike and hilarious play exploring the pressures and transformations that happen to teenagers as they grow up.
Otto's parents have big plans for him. His mum thinks he's 'Cambridge material'. His dad wants him to play for Arsenal. It's a lot of pressure, but Otto has it under control.
Until one morning, when Otto wakes up feeling pretty peculiar… discovering, unexpectedly, he's been transformed into a skunk.
