Decky Does a Bronco swings into Florence Park!

I saw some great shows in Edinburgh last week and one of the very best of which is heading straight to Oxford this week! Decky Does A Bronco is a hit at the Fringe - a hot ticket and one of the most talked about shows. I saw it last night and can't wait to see it again in Oxford's Florence Park next week.

It's the latest Playhouse Plays Out show and one not to be missed. Decky is the story of four young boys who spend a summer together. The writer, Douglas Maxwell, captures the magic of childhood beautifully and the adult actors perform their roles to perfection. Set in the 80s, with accompanying haircuts and short shorts, this play is also timeless. We all remember the unfairness of having to go in for our tea, the endless competition over who can run fastest, jump furthest or who will be friends with who. As adults we can look back on those precious days of innocence, and in the play, the four boys also appear as adults who know things about life that haven't yet touched the children.

So whether you come because you've enjoyed other Playhouse Plays Out shows, or because you're a fan of quality theatre, or because you remember the 80s, or because you remember what being a child is like, or because you've forgotten, or because you want to bring your family and friends to a play, or because you're intrigued about what's going on in Florence Park, trust me; you'll be glad you found your way to Decky.

I loved Quartet. Gwen Taylor is a star. Loved the ending; made me cry and laugh. Wonderful!

I thought Quartet was wonderful – the last scene made me cry. Lost youth regained for a few joyful minutes etc

Saw the first half of Quartet very well. Unfortunately at this stage of my life I am trying to embrace life and I was getting very scared of the realism. Thank you to all the actors for a wonderful performance.

Quartet is an interesting take on the reality of ageing. Absolutely brilliant. Thank you
