Please note a change to the venue for Saturday’s performance. It will take place on Claycroft field and there will be a 10 minute walk to the performance site. Please meet at the Box Office between 7.20pm – 7.30pm to be taken to the site.

Due to the change of venue, the Saturday matinee performance has been cancelled in order to allow the company to set up on the new site.

From Monday to Friday the performance will take place outside in the Quad adjacent to the Arts Centre.

‘To bronco a swing you stand on it, worky up to the bumps, level with the bar, kick the swing over your head and jump beneath it.’ Douglas Maxwell

It’s summer and school’s out. Five lads act out their dreams and fears in their local playground in Scotland. Their game, known as ‘broncoing’, is fast and dangerous. Broncoing is a sign of manhood – which Decky and his friends all impatiently await. Little do they know how suddenly and abruptly it will be forced upon them this summer…

“A precious piece of theatre that captures all the fragility of childhood.” The Guardian

Multi award-winning Scottish company Grid Iron first toured this boisterous outdoor production in 2000 and again in 2001 in co-production with The Almeida Theatre, London. A theatrical event unlike any other, and performed by eight actors who are all trained acrobats, this remount celebrates the tenth anniversary of the original Scotsman Fringe First and Stage Award winning production.

A powerful and vivid tale of childhood innocence and the perilous passage into adulthood.

”Utterly convincing and utterly brilliant – I’d run away and join Grid Iron tomorrow.” The Irish Times
