There are scenes of moderate threat and also some potentially disturbing dream sequences. Some scenes may cause emotional distress. There are also scenes of bullying in a contemporary school setting. Though the violence in these scenes is relatively mild, a young audience is likely to identify and sympathise with Conor. This show may prompt discussion at home with a young person’s responsible adult about some challenging themes. As such, this production is recommended for age 12 years and over.
