LAYCOCK PRESENTS 

ECHO THEATRE

Written by Yasmina Reza
Directed by Jordan Best 

“At 5:30 P.M. on the third of November, in Telopea Park, following a verbal altercation, Benjamin Raleigh, eleven, armed with a stick, struck Henry Novak in the face. This action resulted in, apart from a swelling of the upper lip, the breaking of two incisors, including injury to the nerve in the right incisor.”

When two couples meet to discuss the playground incident between their sons, the evening begins quite amicably.

What starts as a civilised discussion with espresso, clafoutis and small talk, quickly descends into a gloves off mess of name calling, tantrums, and projectile vomiting. Once you remove the veneer of respectability, you reveal the savage mess beneath.

Boys will be boys, but can the grown-ups be grown up enough to resolve their differences without losing sight of right and wrong?

Echo Theatre have reimagined this classic play in a vibrant new production.
