An Adequate Abridgement of Boarding School Life as a Homo

It does what it says on the tin really. 

Bobby Award-winning comedy following Johnny, an 18-year-old at an all-boys boarding school. He ambles through daily life, Britney in his ears, failing to fit into the school's (rather rigid) mould.

Enter Harry, the rugby golden boy. To save time, Johnny and Harry shag. Constantly. This isn't a coming out story or a gay tragedy and it is definitely not porn. It is life through the lens of a young queer man, navigating Grindr, hyper-masculinity and an institution rife with shame.

"A joyous, playful piece at its highest notes, that hits at the core of what Fringe Theatre should be – fun, expressive, undaunting."
