Crush follows the story of Ally and Jason – two individuals going through a heart-wrenching break up. From the repetitions of being in a fight to the devastation of first love, Crush is pure heartache from the get go. The play is dramatic, dark and not suitable for those under the age of 18.
When writing Crush, author Elodie Boal wanted to achieve a play that was relatable, as most people know the turmoil caused by breaking up with someone you love.
