Max is sensitive.
Saffron’s directionless.
Jason’s a legend.
Cork’s a cynic.
Gemma’s a loose cannon.
Nate’s just… there.
And someone’s burned Dickhead’s house down.
A raw and raucous coming of age drama, The Boys on the Bus is another masterwork from multi-award winning playwright, Jamie Hornsby. Gritty and gripping, with a jet-black sense of humour, The Boys on the Bus examines class, identity, despair, masculinity, and the stuff that goes on at 2am in the carpark of the 24 hour bakery.
A sister show/sequel to because there was fire, The Boys on the Bus premiered to critical acclaim on the Central Coast, before moving to ATYP’s Rebel Theatre in August 2023.
