Boy Out The City

The euphoria of seeing Sister Act 2 for the first time, surviving the streets of Coventry in his NAF NAF jacket and the lonely aisles of Hobbycraft, this is the electric, funny and raw autobiographical debut by Declan Bennett. Declan takes us on a journey into the messy and turbulent world of toxic masculinity, homophobia and men's mental health; confronting his Catholic school days in Coventry, discovering the Gay scene in 90’s Soho and surviving the harsh bright lights of New York City. This is a story of a man in desperate search of identity and sanity who when confronted with the unexpected isolation of the Oxfordshire countryside, is forced to fight the demons of his past and come face to face with the Boy Out of The City. Written and performed by Declan Bennett, developed and directed by Nancy Sullivan, presented by Lauren Reed Productions in association with Paul Taylor-Mills.
