Devon Rose Theatre.
By arrangement with Nick Hern Books.
‘I wonder what I have to do for people to recognise me as a threat. Do I have to smash a glass over the head of every single man I come into contact with, just so I leave a mark?’
Irina takes erotic photos of average-looking men. Always behind the lens, she watches, she moulds, and she stalks. These boys are putty in her hands, just the way she likes it.
Adapted by Gillian Greer from the critically acclaimed debut novel by Eliza Clark, which was a finalist for the Women’s Prize Futures Award, Boy Parts is a pitch-black psychological thriller that subverts the erotic gaze and asks what happens when our need for connection gets twisted. This one woman play will have you laugh, cry and ultimately shocked.

An important part of any Fringe Festival is the new work appearing for the very first time, while this may be Devon Rose Theatre’s debut performance as a company, they clearly have a deep love and admiration for theatrical work, and the quality of their performance shines through even the darkest aspects of the play they have created for us.
