About The Event
Artists' Amateur Guild (AAG) presents- 'The Worst Boy Alive', a satirical, absurdist take on the Criminal Justice system of the country, how it's not even pretending not to be skewed in favour of the rich and elite, and how all are in fact not 'equal' in front of the Law. The play draws specifically from real life high-profile cases of brash and unreserved, '2nd Generation' scions of uber-wealthy families and the 'rap on the wrist' consequences they faced after their purportedly heinous crimes.
Written by Dilsher Dhillon (The Luckiest Boy Alive), the story follows one such brat who has never heard 'No', his choice to drive while inebriated and his family's approach to get him off the hook, by hook or by crook, all while the 'Ghosts of Criminals Past' pay them visits to try and serve as the characters' internal questioners. The real question though, is, 'Can the absurd play match up to the absurdity of real life?'
