Jonesy + Single Sex
The Theatre on The DownsJonesy by Tom Wells
An underdog story about a boy with asthma, who is barred from joining the rugby team, decides to become a netball maverick... but can he overcome the locker room lads, win the netball squad around and achieve his dream of passing GCSE PE...? Or will his old nemesis asthma ruin the day! A play about gender roles, toxic masculinity and burgeoning misogyny.
Single Sex by Rory Mullarkey
Gregg is a first-class grammar school student, excelling in all things theoretical... but surrounded by a rugby mad father, a Latin master pushing the teachings of Ovid and sex-obsessed peerage of teenage boys all inhaling pornography like oxygen, he is in danger of being pressured in to ruining his burgeoning relationship with Sophie. This dark comedy is full of the horrors of teenage boy bravado about sex and girls, and the dark edges of pseudo-rape porn.

- Standard – if you can afford to, please book this rate; the extra money you give will support The Theatre on The Downs and the independent artists and companies on its stage, in what is still an incredibly precarious time.
