Synopsis:
Craig and Stuart are Paperboys in a small East-coast village in Scotland. Every day they deliver papers as the rest of the village sleeps. When a mischievous idea goes wrong they flee, believing they’re being chased by their boss, to a small island off the coast of their village.

CRAIG
[GENDER MALE] [PLAYING AGE 16]
Is a cool, risk-taking, cocky, young teenager who appears to be frightened of nothing. 
He is controlling of his friends and has little regard for others. He pretends to have a very high level of self-esteem but deep down is probably as frightened about growing up as everyone else. He has an athletic build should have distinctive facial bone structure. He should have a local accent – Dundee/Fife.

STUART
[GENDER MALE] [PLAYING AGE 15]
Is a conscientious young teenager who finds he’s always slightly behind the rest of his friends. He strives to be popular but struggles with his shyness and lack of self-esteem. He has a little more respect for others than CRAIG but can be led astray. GREG is portly and slower physically than CRAIG. He should have a local accent – Dundee/Fife.
