“In an ideal world I’d see you eliminated. In this world I need you more than anyone."

A skinhead stands accused of a racially motivated murder. He’s assigned a Jewish lawyer. Cherry coloured Doc Martens are the murder weapon.

Braving audiences to examine their capacity for compassion, David Gow’s Cherry Docs provides an unsettling examination of hatred and intolerance, the explosive effect they have on our society, and the walls that confront us as we try to eradicate them.

Shedding light on the dangers of extremism and the destructive path from fear to hate, this is a play that is bound to spark necessary debate, raise questions and encourage those bearing witness to seek answers.
