Softboy examines the mainstreaming of incel culture and the impact this has on the lives of young people. At a London secondary school, Nadine and Kay muddle through their first queer relationship, whilst Jared and Amber try to navigate the end of theirs. At a prestigious New York university, Rebecca attempts to separate the personal, the professional and the political as the pressure mounts around her. 

Lilly Butcher (she/they) is a director, sound designer and Co-Founder of BossyB*tch Productions, originally from Coventry. Her work focuses on new writing, queer retellings, verbatim historical work and physical theatre. Directing credits include In Memoriam (★★★★★ Theatre Scotland), Frankenstein (Exeter Northcott) and The Last Words (TheSpaceUK).

This play features misogynistic language, ableist language, mention of sexual violence, strong language and domestic violence.

Duration: 70 minutes
