Mad About the Boy by Gbolahan Obisesan
A new play for the new Bush Theatre.'Small but powerful.. the writing is unexpectedly lyrical, elevating the drama of one boy's life into the tragedy of the many whose potential is thrown away before they reach adulthood... its poetic energy and urgency make it difficult to ignore'
* Guardian *'Obisesan's insistently vivid text has a startling emotional authenticity... terse, evocative bullet-force brevity. Urgent, gripping and real.'
* The Times *'Finely observed... a tangy, confident piece... taut and assured'
* Evening Standard *'Stunning new play... Obisesan's passion for language is a joy to experience'
* The Scotsman *'This should be required viewing for every teenager in the capital'
* Whatsonstage.com *'Timely and urgent... intelligently written, and thought-provoking'
* Daily Telegraph *Gbolahan Obisesan is a writer and director. His plays have been staged at the Soho Theatre, the Young Vic, the Unicorn and the Bush Theatre, amongst others. He won the 2009 Jerwood Directors' Award at the Young Vic.
