Telling the true story of Marvin Bijou, a young boy from a working-class family in a small village, who suffers constant bullying at school and home for being ‘different’ – too sensitive and too feminine. A chance encounter with a drama teacher opens the doors to a world that offers him the chance to escape his situation.

VIBE

A tender, vulnerable journey of a sensitive soul finding his voice through the transformative power of theatre. It’s a raw, yet ultimately uplifting, look at overcoming hardship and embracing one's true self against all odds.
