“Square Go is an unassumingly brilliant look at the impossible expectations we place on boys, and the role model gap that is being filled by all sorts of negative forces.”
-TheaterMania

Being a smart arse in class has put daydreamer Max in the crosshairs of the school bully–he’s been challenged to his first ‘square go,’ or after-school fight. But while hiding out in the school bathrooms with his best mate, Stevie, it’s his own demons he must wrestle with first. This high-octane coming of age comedy builds to an emotional conclusion about masculinity, friendship, and fathers and sons.

Our all-new Philadelphia premiere follows smash-hit, sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe and across the world.

Each ticket comes with a drink voucher and savory pie, making Square Go a complete night out!
