Yen tells the story of two brothers, 16 year old Hench and 13 year old Bobbie, who live alone with their dog, Taliban, playing videogames and watching pornography. It is a play that explores lost childhood, lost innocence, love and violence; with tragic consequences. It was inspired by a story in a local paper about two boys who committed a hideous crime.
