The Fringe First award-winning comedy.
"Achingly funny and tender... of the hundreds of shows at the Fringe, few feel as necessary as this." --Financial Times
A comedy about growing up and manning up.
Tobes is young, free and having a ball. Off. He's successfully ignored his lump for two years but it's starting to get in the way - cramping his style and, worse, affecting his sex life. So now there are pants to be dropped, and decisions to be made... it's a real ball ache.
Luke Norris's play Growth was first produced by Paines Plough in their pop-up theatre, Roundabout, at the 2016 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, before touring. An earlier version of the play was seen at the Gate Theatre, London.
Luke is an actor and writer. His professional debut play GOODBYE TO ALL THAT was performed at the Royal Court Jerwood and was widely acclaimed.

It debuted at High Tide Festival in September 2015 before transferring to Manchester Royal Exchange. Luke is currently under commission to The Bush Theatre and Paines Plough.
