Project Arts Centre, Dublin: 26 June – 6 July, 2024
An Grianán, Letterkenny, Donegal: 11 – 13 July, 2024
Following a three month affair between two anonymous men, Boyfriends, charts the ups and downs and roundabouts of a modern situationship. As they swing through four million one hundred and ninety one thousand possibilities of what they might mean to one another, through time, sex, Madonna songs, nightclubs, period dramas and calorie counting, Boyfriends asks us to ponder on that age old question: what the f*ck is romance anyway?
“Boyfriends is one of the best, if not the best, new plays of 2024.”
