Our Bad Magnet

by Douglas Maxwell

Centering on an uneasy reunion, Our Bad Magnet takes four boys from a small town on the West Coast of Scotland and follows their progress from ages 9 to 29 as they try to unlock the secrets of childhood and memory. Throw in 80’s indie music, a ventriloquist’s dummy, some magical fairy stories and a word called "nimston" and you have a hilarious black comedy that isn’t afraid to make you think while you’re laughing out loud.

Reading a play was always going to be a hard sell but I enjoyed this story. An easy quick read.
