WATERLOO EAST THEATRE
21 - 24 May 2025
​
An Adequate Abridgement of Boarding
School Life as a Homo
presented by Choirboys productions
​
Meet Johnny. 18 and in his final year at boarding school. He ambles through daily life, Britney in his ears, a flaming homosexual who fails miserably to fit into the school’s (rather rigid) mould. He daydreams of being a gay tragedy - but he even fails at that. Enter Harry, a confident, charming, rugby lad.
​
To save time, trepidation and a tired queer-baiting narrative - Johnny and Harry shag. All. The. Time.
​
Listed in The Scotsman’s ‘Top 5 Theatre Shows’ from the Edinburgh Fringe 2024 and Winner of the Broadway Baby Bobby Award, An Adequate Abridgement is described as “a gem on every level” (Broadway Baby) and a “heartfelt, honest, and deeply hilarious” production (Binge Fringe).
