A new play by Matt Osman, for one week only
Following a month long run at The Hope Theatre, 'The Boy Who Cried' a new play by Matt Osman, transfers to the Tabard theatre for one week only from 9 - 12 April. The production is by Rough Haired Pointer theatre group.
A young girl has gone missing last night, believed murdered.
Everyone knows werewolves lurk behind every front door. It is the duty of the State to have them hunted down, tortured and terminated.
There are no police here, only ‘Protection’ Officers.
Sam Elvin has been locked in his mental turmoil for years, and his room for days. Apart from last night - when he was found naked and
crazed on the Embankment.
What choice does his anxious mother
have but to call in the services of the Protection Officer? And can he
prove Sam’s wolfishness before the next full moon?
A heady brew of George Orwell, R D Laing and Jacobean tragedy’
Michael Coveney - WhatsOnStage
‘Rough Haired Pointer roll werewolves and absurdism together in this
imaginative, blackly comic look at alienation and our fear of what
might be lurking inside other people…. Fiercely original and sharply
funny.’
