Over gardens out

by Peter Gill

Frustrated with the tedium of suburbia, mummy's boy Dennis is drawn to Borstal boy Jeffry in a camaraderie that veers into volatile and unarticulated eroticism. Deftly depicting the frustrations of 1960s living, 'Over Gardens Out' is a finely tuned sketch of friendship and family life. It was first performed in the Theatre Upstairs at the Royal Court Theatre, London, in August 1968.
