We find ourselves a couple of days before the Coventry theatre debut of Boy Out The City, the autobiographical show written and performed by Coventry lad, Declan Bennett.
As the Belgrade show listing tells us: "Declan takes us on a journey into the messy and turbulent world of toxic masculinity, homophobia and men’s mental health; confronting his Catholic school days in Coventry, discovering the Gay scene in 90’s Soho and surviving the harsh bright lights of New York City."
The show had a sell-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe and a short run in the West End, and it now comes home to Coventry for the first time from Mon 25th to Thurs 28th Mar 2024
Declan is a Belgrade Youth Theatre alumni, part of the pop group Point Break, and he also played Charlie Cotton on EastEnders.
