Salisbury Crags, Edinburgh. Twilight. A woman takes a step forward
into the air. A teenage boy pulls her back. Two lives are changed
forever. Libby whiles away her days in New Town cafes and still
calls herself a writer - but she's not put pen to page for years.
Declan is a talented young artist struggling with a volatile home
life in Pilton. As they form an uneasy friendship, complicated by
class and culture, Libby spots an opportunity to put herself back
on track, and really make a difference. She needs Declan's story.
In all its messy, painful detail. But does she have the right to
it? When does poverty portrayal become poverty porn? Often
startling, sometimes shocking and threaded with unexpected humour,
Mouthpiece takes a frank and unflinching look at the different
Edinburghs which often exist in ignorance of one another, and
examines whether it's possible to tell someone else's story without
exploiting them along the way.
