Laurie Stevens: David’s One-Man Band (F*ck You, Steven)

Lothian Life Mag
Emo teen David is a poet, a philosopher, a musical genius.

And he’s here to headline Sticky Floors – the coolest under 16s band night in the Bay Area. But when his bandmate doesn’t show, will he handle himself with a sense of poise and rationality?

This coming-of-age character comedy with live music is a nostalgia bomb of teenage awkwardness – from angsty poetry, to failed flirtations, to the perils of wearing black layers during a heatwave.

It’s a silly, sweet exploration of how teenage boys communicate when, like, words are hard.
