Borstal Boy Punk Rock Opera

Set against the backdrop of 1960s England, this punk rock opera narrates the true story of brothers Michael and David Clarke, who descended into a life of crime. Michael, the elder, influenced David during their time in separate facilities—HMP Maidstone and Dover Borstal. Their tumultuous journey includes a series of criminal activities that culminate in David's eventual arrest after a three-year spree of undetected offenses. The narrative explores themes of brotherhood, influence, and the consequences of a life on the edge.
