About Real Boy:

REAL BOY was written by Finn Evans and Ramonah N.J. Gibson in 2022, when Finn first directed and produced the play at the UEA Drama Studio (October 2022) and then at the inaugural Norwich Queer Fest (February 2023). Jesse Smith played Real Boy in both productions. Now, they bring his story to Colchester in Jesse’s directorial debut via the Lakeside Theatre’s Homegrown programme.
