Lunchbox is about the impact of bullying seen through the eyes of a troubled Scottish boy, Steven, and Pakistani girl, Lubna.

Can two teenagers brought up in the same street in Glasgow have different outcomes in life? Can Lubna navigate being bullied without telling her parents about it, not wanting to add to their burden? What role do school lunchtime clubs play? Can Steven be redeemed from bullying and find his purpose in life? Do teachers have a role in shaping their students lives? Or is a life of crime destined for Steven? This play examines the nature vs nurture debate.
