Hard on the heels of their award winning, sold out, smash-hit season of Hard on the heels of their award winning, sold out, smash-hit season of The Sex Show  (Auckland Fringe Festival), The Outfit Theatre Company present the NZ premiere of Howard Korder’s Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, Boys’ Life.

A frequently witty and thought-provoking urban drama, Boys’ Life could succinctly be described as the male’ ‘Sex in the City’. Playing out predominantly through the eyes of 3 young urban men (who refuse to grow up), it portrays the sexual politics and attitudes of late 1980’s America. But the themes and issues it raises are deeper than they seem and equally as relevant to today’s New Zealand, as men and women (or boys and girls) continue the struggle for identity in an increasingly confusing world.

The New Yorker called Boys’ Life, “the most balanced and intelligent comment on the battle of the sexes I've seen in a long time…"

Variety says “"Howard Korder's Boys’ Life puts sexual insecurity among under-30 males under the comic microscope and the result is a satisfying and thoughtful work by a fresh playwriting voice."

Boys’ Life stars some of the most exciting and talented actors from The Outfit Theatre Company and the Auckland theatre scene; Joel Herbert (Go Girls, The Idea of America, The Suburban Murder), Andrew Ford (The History Boys,The Idea of America), Pete Coates (The Sex Show, Pear Shaped), Jacqui Nauman (Go Girls, The Sex Show), Sarah Graham (The Sex Show, Little White Men), Toni Rowe (The Sex Show, The Suburban Murder), Nicole Jorgensen (Little White Men, The Suburban Murder) and Ema Barton (The Sex Show, The Suburban Murder).

With a top-notch creative team headed by rising star, and the creative force behind The Idea of America, Sam Shore, who will direct this slick and sassy production, and recent Arts Foundation Laureate, John Parker who will design the set, Boys’ Life is set to be one of The Outfit Theatre Company’s most talked about productions of 2011.
