2019 Edinburgh Fringe
Four Woke Baes
Multi award-winning US playwright Jonathan Caren's razor-sharp dark comedy follows four friends on a river-rafting stag party that's turned upside down when a mysterious woman kayaks ashore. Groom-to-be, Dez, comes to question the very nature of love and monogamy over the course of a long night's drinking, fire-building and s'more-making. Rifles are drawn, stripteases danced and secrets unearthed as the quartet of friends comes together and falls apart. Cynical and raw, hilarious and squirm-inducing, the play asks just how liberal "woke" boys really are when they're alone together, out in nature, beers in hand.

The Jewish Chronicle, 29th July 2019Meet the performers: Jonathan Caren (Four Woke Baes)
Today in our 'Meet the Performers' series we meet Jonathan Caren, multi award-winning US playwright, and writer of Four Woke Baes. The play asks just how liberal "woke" boys really are when they're alone together, out in nature, beers in hand. With a stellar cast, a Fringe Premiere and the exploration of some very topical themes, 'Four Woke Baes' looks likely to be a Fringe must-see!
