One car is hit. The stone goes through the front window and kills the driver.

The rest of The Stones by Teater Grimsborken deals with the investigation, the interrogations, the confession, the trial and the sentence. And not least: Our attitude to the whole thing!

How do we regard manslaughter? ...committed by a child. When does a child stop being a child? When are you adult enough to be sentenced as an adult?

The Stones was written by Tom Lycos and Stefo Nantsou of Zeal Theatre in Australia, and had its worldwide premiere in 1996.
