REDEMPTION © – Song - Written By Brian Montgomery
Redemption is a powerful, high-energy rap anthem at the heart of THE PLAY©. It tells the story of young people influenced by gangs, anger and street pressure who make the courageous decision to change direction.
The song confronts the reality of knife carrying, peer pressure and toxic bravado, but it does not glorify it. Instead, it exposes the fear, vulnerability and insecurity often hidden beneath the surface. Through sharp lyrics and raw delivery, the characters move from confrontation to accountability — choosing growth over violence.
At its core, Redemption is about second chances. It shows that young people are not defined by their worst decisions. When offered structure, belonging and opportunity, they can drop the knife, walk away from negative influences and step into leadership.
Musically bold and emotionally honest, Redemption is more than a performance piece — it is a declaration that change is possible.
LAURA © – Song - Written By Brian Montgomery
Laura’s Song is one of the most emotionally powerful pieces from THE PLAY, written to raise awareness of cyberbullying and the often unseen impact it has on young people. Through Laura’s story, the song explores how quickly trust can be broken, how online cruelty can spiral, and how isolation can take hold when someone feels exposed and alone.
What begins as a deeply personal struggle unfolds into a journey of resilience and self-discovery. Laura represents many young people who suffer in silence, highlighting the importance of speaking up, seeking support and finding a safe space to be heard. Within THE PLAY, that space becomes the turning point — where vulnerability is transformed into strength and confidence.
Written by Brian Montgomery, the song serves not only as a narrative moment within the production, but as a wider message of awareness, empathy and hope. It reminds audiences that behind every message, post or comment is a real person with real feelings — and that through understanding and support, lives can be changed.

This is Harry GROVES. At 14, Harry’s life is chaos. The walls shake with his parents’ screams as his autistic sister Sara clings to her teddy bear. Domestic violence surrounds them, fuelled by their parent’s Alcohol & Drug Abuse. At school, there’s no escape— “Fatty.” “Four Eyes.” The words crush him. Each step feels like sinking into quicksand. Does anyone care?
This is Johnny Moran. 15. Transgender. Brave enough to say, “This is me.” But the world punishes him. “Freak.” “Mistake.” They see a target—not a person. Jonny lowers his head, hoping someone—anyone—will see him.
This is Stacey Johnston. 15. Alone for loving differently. Bullied and Subjected to Homophobic Slurs After Coming Out as Gay. She wonders— “Would anyone notice if I were gone?”
This is Tommy Ward. 14. Raised in pure, unwavering love. But they turn it into shame. Tommy asks: Why can’t they see the beauty?
Even Gang members Mathew Jones wants to Join THE PLAY, and other Gang members Fazal Hamed, Tariq, Mick, Liam Harris, and Samatha are seeking forgiveness.
Liam Harris and Claire Watkins (15), the ruthless Cyber-bully Queen, want to join up and seek forgiveness
