Bad Boy

'I would never get a dog. Such a tell-tale sign of loneliness.'

Jack has a record deal to close, an ex to win back, and a chunky English bulldog who refuses to move. He is absolutely convinced his life is about to begin. He is absolutely getting in his own way. 

 

Written and performed by Daniel Adolfsson (The Bridge, SVT), Bad Boy is a music-driven Nordic dark comedy about chasing dreams and confronting the unbearable vulnerability of being truly seen. Directed by Lilac Yosiphon (Baylis Director, The Old Vic) , co-created with Charlotte Davidson, and produced by Nerve Creations.
