Description

Boyhood is all about spit-shakes, rope swings and playing soldiers. But what happens when the pretend becomes all too real and the childhood tales become harder to retell? Whether it’s stories around the campfire, letters home to mom, or a prayer to your favourite president, these two Boy Scouts really just want a turn to play the good guy... Scout's Honour. From consecutive 2022 and 2023 Fringe First Award winners Xhloe and Natasha comes an absurdist two-hander about the idealised American childhood and the boys it left behind.

A truly remarkable show written and starring 2 incredibly talented performers. Heart felt nostalgia of an era in US history when our politicians were revered. The writing, the staging, the intricately synchronized movement utilized every inch of space giving the impression of a much larger space. Go see this show. And expect big things to come from these 2.

Brilliantly choreographed, whip-smart and yet heartbreaking piece of physical theatre
