The Sitcom Trials Presents:
Sit Still. Keep Quiet. Play Nicely
Good Little Boy
A One-Act Comedy
by Lewis Cook
Mild-mannered
school janitor George is desperate to win back his estranged wife, the
breathtakingly self-absorbed Lesley. But she is inexplicably attracted to a
cruel and loathsome lay-about, and George finds himself loveless, homeless and
hopeless.
Driven to despair
and beset by loneliness, George finally reaches breaking point and, in a moment
of madness, he lashes out with grave consequences. As events spiral out of
control, George finds his Jenga tower of deception becoming ever more
precarious.
A darkly hilarious
examination of infidelity, morality and Monopoly, Good Little Boy is a
funny and quirky new play from the team behind The Sitcom Trials, Checkpoint
Dave, and Barbara & Jeffrey.
Good Little Boy is at the Wardrobe Theatre, above The White Bear, St Michaels Hill Bristol, from the 26th - 30th January 2015. Tickets and details here.
Writer Lewis Cook was a runner up in the
2013 Edinburgh Fringe So You Think You Write Funny? competition, held at
the prestigious Gilded Balloon. A stalwart of the Sitcom Trials team – a
competition he won twice – Lewis is one half of the double-act Cook and Davies,
whose acclaimed sketch show Planet Earth And All Who Sailed In Her took
the 2014 Edinburgh Fringe by storm.
