OBSERVER: The Boys


Sevenfold Theatre Company presents Gordon Graham’s The Boys from April 29 – May 5 at the Bluestone Church Arts Space, Footscray.
The Boys, directed by Green Room Award nominated director Tess Walsh, is a fictionalised insight into the lives of the three brothers involved in the Anita Cobby murder, and the impact it had on the women in their lives, as they grasp at the reality of what has been done.
The play offers a raw unflinching look at gendered violence and how society is failing both its victims and perpetrators of crime.
Modernised to a 2010 setting, a layer of immediacy has been added to this production, highlighting that these disturbing behaviours and attitudes transcend time and continue to be engrained in contemporary Australia.
“These men are not just a stereotype. Everyone is responsible for a change in attitude and stopping this violence.”
The Boys features Todd Costello, Lucy May Knight, Karli Rae Riesen, Eden Bren, Columbus Lane, Helen Hopkins, Stelios Ioannides and Ethan Rutledge.
Performance Season: April 29 – May 4
Location: Bluestone Church Arts Space, 8A Hyde St, Footscray
