After moving to yet another new school and unexpectedly making friends with a hypermasculine trans ally, a gender-questioning teenager must fight back against bullies, friends and his mother to finally embrace his identity as a trans boy. Will he succeed or succumb to his people-pleasing ways?About Real Boy:
REAL BOY was written by Finn Evans and Ramonah N.J. Gibson in 2022, when Finn first directed and produced the play at the UEA Drama Studio (October 2022) and then at the inaugural Norwich Queer Fest (February 2023). Jesse Smith played Real Boy in both productions. Now, they bring his story to Colchester in Jesse’s directorial debut via the Lakeside Theatre’s Homegrown programme.
