BOYS by Ella Hickson.
Directed by Oli Hurst.
In a flat overflowing with bin bags and broken dreams, four boys are facing their final 24 hours of freedom. The graduation ceremony is over, the refuse collectors are on strike, and the "real world" is clawing at the door. BOYS is a visceral snapshot of a generation standing on the edge of a cliff. Benny, Mack, Timp, and Cam have spent years cocooned in the chaos of student life, but as the sun sets on their final night in Edinburgh, the party is curdling. While Timp fuels a hedonistic bender to outrun his responsibilities and Mack weaponizes his cynicism against everyone in sight, a darker shadow hangs over the flat: the recent suicide of Benny’s brother.Hickson’s play is a razor-sharp, heartbreaking exploration of toxic masculinity, the terror of growing up, and the messy, violent transition from who you were to who you’re forced to become. It is a story for anyone who has ever looked at their future and wanted to hide under the floorboards.
