Description
The Boys on the Bus by Jamie Hornsby examines class, identity, despair, masculinity, and the stuff that goes on at 2 am in the carpark of the 24-hour bakery.
This is an unapologetically sweary play, filled with unapologetically sweary characters. They’re sometimes brutish and badly behaved. They can be crude and cruel. But despite this, they still evoke empathy. They may have a lot of growing up to do, but they’re a lot more complex than they might at first appear.
SYNOPSIS
Max is sensitive. Saffron’s directionless. Jason’s a legend. Cork’s a cynic. Gemma’s a loose cannon. Nate’s just… there. And someone’s burned the teacher’s house down.
The Boys on the Bus examines class, identity, despair, masculinity, and the stuff that goes on at 2am in the carpark of the 24 hour bakery. In a town where everyone tells you the only way to succeed is to run far away, this play is about the ones who stay behind.
