AddressThe Butterfly Club, 204 Bank Street, South Melbourne, 3205
Mark is a 17-year old who is anxious to finally get his sex life jump-started. When “new boy” Barry, who has the face of an angel and the body of a god [and the name of a plasterer] begins classes at Mark's all boys school, the two become fast friends. This new relationship allows Mark the opportunity to experience his hormonal aspirations vicariously through Barry's exploits. Through it all, the two boys develop a very close bond that could ultimately change the course of their lives.

“Adolescent desire, burgeoning sexuality, loss of virginity and cross-generational sex, all deftly handled in a cracking script…” – The Guardian
