Written by Douglas Maxwell and Directed by Ben Harrison
“To bronco a swing you stand on it, work 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.
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.
Multi-award winning Scottish company Grid Iron bring this unique and unforgettable outdoor production to the grass out front… quite simply stunning.
