“He says they all do it. These kids, you know, they’ve got their phones. Film everything. Can’t say I blame them. I would at that age.”


Seventeen-year-old Jack is the apple of his mother’s eye. His parents, Di and David, have devoted their whole lives to giving him every opportunity they never had and, as a result, Jack is smart, outgoing, and well on his way to achieving the grades to study law at Durham University.


But a startling incident outside the school gates threatens to ruin everything his parents have strived for – an incident that suggests a deep hatred of their son… As events begin to accelerate, Di and David start to doubt Jack’s closest friends, Jack himself, and ultimately themselves. Who can they trust?


In a world where smartphones are ubiquitous, James Fritz’s deeply provocative and topical drama throws a light on the sorts of insidious opportunities new technology offers – where nothing dies online, except reputation.


Four Minutes and Twelve Seconds was runner up for the Verity Bargate Award in 2013. It received its world premiere at Hampstead Downstairs on 2 October 2014.
