Best Boy
nb. This event takes place at different venues or in different spaces for different performances.
Three adult children and their mother reunite after the death of their abusive father, engaging in a strange, cruel competition that shaped their childhood. As the games play out, hidden truths emerge, relationships crumble and violence ensues.
Sharply scripted and featuring expert use of music to create an absurd, unpredictable environment, this is a bold, original and blackly comic satire that fearlessly skewers social constructs, the nuclear family and toxic masculinity.
