Max Porter's 'Shy' delves into the mind of a troubled teenage boy named Shy as he navigates a few chaotic hours. Having escaped 'Last Chance', a home for 'very disturbed young men', Shy wanders into the night, haunted by the conflicting voices of his past: teachers, parents, those he has hurt, and those attempting to love him. His journey is a descent into the fragile space between his night terrors, his memories, and the daunting prospect of his future.
