Synopsis

‘There's a part of my body that's rotten and I want to cut it out’ A run down flat littered with porn, rubbish and the faint smell of sweat in the air. Bobby and Hench are playing PlayStation, masturbating and smoking. Their dog, Taliban, is locked away in their bedroom. Intermittent visits from Mum, Maggie, only add to the chaos surrounding them. Suddenly, there’s a knock at the door. Jenny enters in a bold shake-up for the boys. Is it love? Is it danger? Is it hope? Winner of the Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting in 2013, rated 5-stars by the Guardian and incredible critical acclaim in 2015 and staged for a lengthy time at MCC in New York. This ‘phenomenal’ (UpStaged Manchester) and ‘extraordinary’ (The Guardian) play, directed by award-winning director Connor Goodwin, in association with multi-award winning company Divided Culture Co. is an absolute must-see.
