For teenagers, life is turbulent. It is the time of physical and emotional change. It is a time of rebellion and of the search for personal independence.  

The play “Back Street Stories” is a collection of   stories told by a group of close friends who have shared ‘bread and salt’.   In telling these stories,  the boys are able to share with each other (and with the audience) some of their dreams, secrets, embarrassments, and the difficulties of teenage life. These stories, sometimes painful, are always heartfelt. If they have a tough impact, it is because life is tough. The play has no particular story except for the stories themselves and the relation of the characters (the story-tellers) with each other. The play has an open end and thus gives teenagers room to add their own stories. If there is a message… it’s this: You are who you are! Your life will pass through many stages and that while growing up friendship and communication are two of the most important human values that we have.
