Boys

Last Days Of Rome, for the Edinburgh class of 2016.

On an unusually hot summers night, Benny and his band of compatriots. A punk, A prodigy and a poet, drink to the end of an era.

Amidst the sanitation strike in Edinburgh the garbage keeps mounting but there is more than the smell of rotten rubbish hanging in the air. Nostalgia soon turns to soul searching and division, as everyones dirty laundry is aired one last time.

LOST Theatre brings Ella Hicksons critically acclaimed student saga 'Boys' back to London for one last dance around the coffee table. Premiered at the Soho Theatre in 2011 this modern play charts the belated coming of age of two university graduates and their friends along for the ride. Seen through the eyes of Blairs' babies, four hedonistic twenty somethings edge reluctantly ever closer to the real world.

On the face of it, this brilliantly observed Student drama could be a modern re-imagining of the 'Young Ones' but with laughter and chaos comes tragedy and isolation. With revolution and resolutions the order of the day and time quickly running out, Benny just wants to fix everybodies problems ignoring his own demons at all costs.
