On the shores of Scotland, three 9 year old boys begrudgingly befriend a troubled young outsider, a gifted but tormented child who harbors the ability to spin magical, often fable-like fairy tales. The boys, now men, reunite years later to try to piece together the circumstances that led to the mysterious death or disappearance of their childhood fascination.

Playwright Douglas Maxwell, one of Scotland's brightest young writing talents, uses his own unique brand of dark humor to take us on a magical journey in which the boundaries between fantasy and reality merge with unpredictable results.

 

Our Bad Magnet is directed by Carlo Lorenzo Garcia. It features Layne Manzer, John Wilson, Kevin V. Smith and Daniel Behrendt. Designers include John Wilson (set), Stefin Steberl (costumes), Matthew Gawryk (lights), Joe Court (sound), Tiffany Joy Ross (Dialects), and Sarah Bendix (movement). Stage Management is by Allison Goetzman.
