'A political play that blessedly never overtly displays or debates its politics. Finding a playwright who trusts his audiences to watch and listen, and who looks for hope, is seriously exciting.' @TheStage

Harry McDonald’s exquisitely surprising Foam & Sam Grabiner’s extraordinary Boys On The Verge Of Tears – the most exciting debut I’ve seen in decades – glow with wit and compassion. And, unexpectedly, they’re the latest in a history of plays in toilets. https://t.co/qxMf1h03O3
