Grid Iron presents
Decky Does a Bronco
Written by Douglas Maxwell
Directed by Ben Harrison

This performance takes place at Lochee Park, Dundee.

‘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
 
This Scotsman Fringe First and Stage Award winning show is a theatrical event unlike any other.  Eight actors – all trained acrobats - play out this powerful and vivid tale of childhood innocence and the perilous passage into adulthood.
 
Multi-award winning Scottish company Grid Iron return to Dundee with this boisterous outdoor production.
 
“Theatre that effortlessly breathes straight from the heart”  The Times
 
”Utterly convincing and utterly brilliant – I’d run away and join Grid Iron tomorrow” The Irish Times
