TNPA: The Outsiders

The Outsiders

From the book by: S.E. Hinton

Adapted by: Christopher Sergel

The Outsiders stage adaptation is seen through the eyes of young Ponyboy, a Greaser on the wrong side of life, caught up in territorial battles between the have-it-made rich kids—the Socs—and his tough, underprivileged "greaser" family and friends. While the Socs appear to have everything, the only thing a Greaser has is his friends. As these young people try to find themselves and each other, as the sadness of sophistication begins to reach them and their battles and relationships reach a resolution. At it’s heart, The Outsiders is about young people who are still hopeful in a world stacked against them.
