Following a sold out UK Tour, An Adequate Abridgement of Boarding School Life as a Homo returns to Edinburgh Fringe.
This is not a coming out story, nor a gay tragedy, and it is not porn. An Adequate Abridgement of Boarding School Life as a Homo is life through the lens of a young gay man, navigating masculinity, Grindr and an institution that is rife with shame; doing it all with a sensational soundtrack and a hearty dose of laughter.
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.
Directed by Meg Bowron & Josh Stainer
Produced by Lizzie Hawke
Assistant Produced by Sarah Waghorn
