As the Mother of A Brown Boy
Synopsis:
On 6 October2005, MischaNiering took part in a botched ram-raid of Tiffany in Sloane Square in west London. Fleeing the scene on a scooter, he became caught up in a high-speed police chase and was killed. the police were later found guilty of taking insufficient safety measures during the pursuit. Niering was 19 years old. Now, Mischa's friends at the Chickenshed company (where he was once a student) have devised an hour-long show to commemorate his life and death. As its title suggests, this is a highly subjective account based on reallife conversations with Mischa's mother, Karen. Her words form the emotional heart of the play, which pits them against the harsh voice of authority: "He robbed a shop. He died. What's your problem?"
