Publisher's Synopsis

A fiercely funny play by the Tony Award-winning author of The Humans.

Three misfit teenagers are brought together by a sex scandal in their school, with nobody taking them seriously until they speak out - with hilarious consequences.

Living in a social media minefield, where peers are judgmental and adults are dictatorial and condescending, Howie, Solomon and Diwata grapple with homophobia, online privacy and how to get the lead in the school play.

Stephen Karam's Speech & Debate was first performed Off-Broadway at Roundabout Underground in 2007. It received its European premiere at the Trafalgar Studios, London, in 2017, produced by Defibrillator.
