Adapted from
Greg McGee's Foreskin's Lament
In 1981, Foreskin’s Lament exploded into the New Zealand theatre scene with its brutally honest portrayal of sport, politics and what it means to be a Kiwi man.
Forty years later, The Court Youth Company ask what’s changed – and what the girls think in this radical adaptation from award-winning playwright Eleanor Bishop.

Press Reviews
"Boys takes Foreskin’s Lament and slices the Kiwi classic into a postmodern maze of modern masculinity ... what remains is as vital and urgent as the original, evoking anger and empathy in equal measures."
"Ambitious, interesting and well-delivered, Boys examines several patriarchal jigsaw pieces. "
