Boy We Knew by Emilia Chinnery

Produced By Salford Arts Theatre in association with To The Left Productions

Boys We Knew follows three best friends, Liam, CJ and Jasper, who spend their time between their B-Tech music college and house parties.

The boys originally seem to maintain a toxic dynamic in their misogynistic attitudes and dispassion for progress. There is a breaking in the group dynamic as Liam attempts to free himself from a future consumed by drugs and repressive behaviour, finding hope in a friendship with a bright girl named Angelica.

However, Liam finds difficulty in distancing from the cultural norms of the white, working class.
