What Does it Take? was written by a team of writers from Second Wave over the past year and a half. The themes of the play were inspired by our community initiative with young people and Lewisham Community Police Consultative Group and the local Territorial Support Group (TSG4).

In Deptford two families hold a long time grudge. When young people from opposite sides fall in love, war is declared. When a rival gets hurt, do you stand by your friends or stand alone? Do you have what it takes to face up...to be real?
When respect is on the line – who controls your fate, is it love or is it hate?

What does it take to be real...to lose face...to face up. The front’s gone – only true pictures get drawn. And at the end of the day only real people get mourned.
Original lyrics by Phoenix

This production of What Does it Take is dedicated to young people who are working to reduce youth on youth violence on our streets and in our neighbourhoods, and brings it to the attention of a wider community audience.
