A group of teenage friends are on holiday from their separate boarding schools and even though they grew up together, they are at completely different places in their lives. They are planning/anticipating a birthday party for one of the pack. When another one of them suffers a drug overdose, it causes a major problem within the clique, forcing their parents to get involved and also forcing them to face the truth about their children and about themselves.

There are 15 cast members – 7 women, 8 men. I will send you a detailed character breakdown shortly.

Following the two-time successful and sold-out run of the Nigerian adaptation of Ntozake Shange’s famous play “For Colored Girls”, Keke Hammond, founder and artistic director of Rue14 Studios returns this holiday season with an original, contemporary stage play – ‘High’ which tackles the issues surrounding substance abuse amongst teenagers in a social media obsessed world.
