Wonder Boy

T0164016872
Struggling with a severe stammer, a schoolboy finds help in a teacher who champions him; but he also has the attention of his comic book creation Captain Chatter, and taunting supervillain William Shakespeare. A dynamic and tender play that explores the failings of language and grief.

Susan MacDonald (21Mar22): Fabulous stereotypes that were a joy to watch. I laughed so much and cried too. Really strong performances all round but Roshi was superb. I really hope this play goes on tour as it's just too good not to share with the rest of the UK. Best play I have seen in a long time....thank you so much. 5
