Legal Weapon by Mark Wheeller

The Play

Mark Wheeller's 'Legal Weapon' tells the fictional story of a sixth-form couple 'Andy' and 'Jazz'. Their relationship is punctuated by the death of Andy's granddad (a heart attack due to a break-in), a sizeable inheritance (spent on a performance car), brushes with the law (for speeding) and exam pressure. When Jazz goes to college, Andy drives their relationship to ruin.
