Boys on the Verge of Tears
Sam Grabiner’s play is the latest recipient of the prestigious Verity Bargate Award – impressive, but what really seals the idea that it’s something special is that big-name director James Macdonald – best known for his work with Caryl Churchill, Annie Baker and Sarah Kane has jumped on board. This is Grabiner’s debut, but it won’t be long until we get to see if he lives up to the hype. ‘Boys on the Verge of Tears’ is rather audaciously set entirely in a men’s toliets, a ‘bold, kaleidoscopic tale of violence and vulnerability’ that features five actors in over 50 roles.
