Small Town Boys

A young man embarks on a thrilling journey from his small hometown to the big city, where he finds solace and joy in the vibrant LGBTQ+ scene. However, his adventure takes a dramatic turn as he confronts a terrifying health crisis, largely ignored by the government. Eight electrifying dancers bring the legendary Paradise Nightclub to life with a community cast, who blur the lines between performer and audience, infusing the show with the joy and chaos of the club scene. Winner of the Creative Arts Award at the 2024 Proud Scotland Awards. Part of the Made in Scotland showcase.

Post show discussions on 8th & 15th

Extant in partnership with ZOO– presents Enhance. 

Visually impaired access has been created for this show post-production, devised by an Extant visually impaired facilitator. This is not audio description, but instead an ‘enhanced’ way of providing access that has been tried and tested by Extant.

We invite visually impaired audiences to come along and experience the programme notes and touch tour before the show beginning at 18:15 on 13th August. The notes encapsulate the visual aspects of the show and are written with access for visually impaired audiences at the core. The Touch Tour offers exploration of set, props and costume: offering an immersive space in which to imagine the work before the show begins.

‘Very descriptive and it allowed me to create a visual picture in my head.’

Extant Enhance 2023-26 is funded by Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Arts Council England.
