Simultaneously a riotous laugh-a-minute comedy and a bleak reminder of the terrifying void that awaits each of us, Stories for Boys is the touching tale of a donkey and a fish grappling with the universe’s most profound question: to be, or not.* Bach, Wittgenstein, Ibsen and Turner are eagerly enlisted in a series of pell-mell, antic attempts to dissolve the outstanding paradoxes of our time; life versus death, love versus sex, fish versus donkey.
