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.
Fourty 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.

"Ambitious, interesting and well-delivered, Boys examines several patriarchal jigsaw pieces. "
