Knife crime has increased across all parts of Wales in the past year. Police said they have found teenagers – and people even younger – carrying knives on the street.

Company of Sirens said the play looks at where antisocial behaviour comes from, whether it is caused by people’s upbringing – whether it is nature or nurture.
