Synopsis

Stephen Laughton's acclaimed one-man play, set over one unforgettable summer and encompassing all of space and time, explores what it means to love, to lose, and how to grow from a boy into a man

Yonni is a seventeen-year-old gay Jewish kid. It's the last day of term and he's avoiding everything. The only person he wants to be around, think about, be about... is Adam.

And as his night unfolds and falls into chaos - some of it real, some of it not - Yonni pulls us into his world. A world filled with school riots, first loves, beached whales, political demonstrations, sunshine, cinema, sex and rebellion.

First produced at VAULT Festival 2016, the play transferred to The Bunker in March 2017, after a national tour.
