Written by Douglas Maxwell and Directed by Ben Harrison
14th June – 18th September 2010
An outdoor, site-specific production which toured all over England and Scotland
AWARDS
In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the first production of Decky Does a Bronco, we toured this new production for 3 months all over Scotland and England, including a return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
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.
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…
This Scotsman Fringe First and Stage Award winning show is an outdoor 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
