Righteous indignation boils over into brutal violence, driven along by a riotous soundtrack, as two best friends take aim at a world that has left them behind.

Danielle and Chloe have been best friends since they were four, except for when things went 'pooey' when they were eight. Together they have faced bullying, rejection and bereavement. In I Hate Alone the two friends remember the times they have been hurt by others and make a list of the people on whom they will take revenge.

Their actions, at first funny and childish, become increasingly disturbing, each marked with a song (of which the music and lyrics are included in the book).

Created by Middle Child Theatre as "gig theatre that brings people together for a good night out with big ideas", think Thelma and Louise turned up to 11: I Hate Alone is a gig with a story, about injustice, revenge and, above all, friendship.
