Violence and Son, Jerwood Theatre Upstairs, Royal Court, review: Fizzes with scabrous humour but concludes unconvincingly
Liam (beautifully portrayed by David Moorst) is a geeky 17-year-old " a fastidious mummy's boy whose mother has recently died. With nowhere else to go till he gets his A Levels, he's been forced to move from the north to the Welsh valleys and live with Rick (Jason Hughes), the lager-swilling, hard-nut father whom he's never known but whose nickname ("Vile" for violence) is no misnomer.Â
