BENNY AND BORIS – TEN MINUTE POIGNANT COMEDY
A park bench on a summer day: this is where we find two old friends Benny & Boris, shooting the breeze over their weekly card game. But today, the usual lighthearted shmoozing evolves into something deeper…
A ten minute poignant comedy with some great funny lines that deals with the sensitive subject of growing older and being best friends.
Benny & Boris took first place in the judged portion of the Paw Paw Village Players One Act Festival.
In addition, it also took home the People’s Choice Award as voted on by the audience as their favourite play.
