An Anarchic, energetic and challenging piece of Hip Hop theatre
Jamal is a boy who holds a deep, dark secret… forever being chased by his beast-like demons, he just wants to be left alone…
Dennis is a community elder who is fed up of the “hoodies” running around on the estate, he is a one-man-army on a mission to clean it up…
When the two meet, they both realise there is more to each other than meets the eye…
But will the secret of GHOST BOY be revealed?
Fusing a heady blend of Hip-Hop Theatre, mask and puppetry – with human beat-box and cello providing a live musical soundtrack – GHOST BOY is an anarchic, energetic and challenging piece of theatre.
