Banana Boys (NHB Modern Plays)

If I had a better sense of humour I would have dedicated this collection to you. Because you made me realise why we need theatre for young audiences. Adults, for the most part, have made up their mind about the world around them. But young people are still questioning it and making up their own minds. But, and I say this as a parent myself, we can’t always trust our parents to foster these questions, and encourage us to see the world in new ways. And that’s why we need plays for young people. To ask the questions that no one else is asking. To challenge the world as we think we know it. To help us make sense of the moment we see two blokes kissing by the river and our mum thinks she should shield our eyes.
