Stories for Boys

‘You talk about death as if it’s a problem to be solved.’

‘It is a problem to be solved.’ 

‘But I don’t think it can be solved.’ 

‘And that’s the problem.’

Simultaneously a riotous laugh-a-minute comedy and a bleak reminder of the terrifying void that awaits each of us, Stories for Boys is the touching tale of a donkey and a fish grappling with the universe’s most profound question: to be, or not.* Bach, Wittgenstein, Ibsen and Turner are eagerly enlisted in a series of pell-mell, antic attempts to dissolve the outstanding paradoxes of our time; life versus death, love versus sex, fish versus donkey.

From the writer of Spy for Spy (‘a revelation!’ - The Times), Tomorrow In The Battle (‘white hot passion’ - New York Times) and Stockwell (‘the most important play of the year’ - Daily Express).

* to be.
