Synopsis: The Boys Next Door is a very funny yet touching play focuses on the lives of four men with disabilities who live in a communal residence under the watchful eye of a sincere but increasingly despairing social worker. Filled with humor and mingled with scenes from the daily lives of these men are moments of great poignancy, when we are reminded that disabilities are relative and that we all want only to love and laugh and find meaning and purpose in the brief time we are given.
