just a boy, standing in front of a girl
Fortyfive Downstairs, 2023
15 Minutes From Anywhere
From the creators of The Yellow Wave and Cuckoo comes a Medea for our times.
Just a Boy, Standing in Front of a Girl is a darkly funny, tragicomic take on the legendary relationship between J and M, from teenage romance to domestic nightmare.
A savage and subversive re-imagining of events surrounding a classic text, Just a Boy is a contemporary parable of the patriarchy that shows what happens when you’re smart, strong and female.
