About Bentboy
Bentboy is a TYA show To be presented at Erratics Indie Arts Club and touring to surrounding schools.
Beyond the treeline and deep in the bush, before settlers have arrived. Our story takes place at a time of uncertainty, and it is up to two young boys to save their people:
Bentboy is a disabled boy who is misunderstood by those around him.
