The Boys Next Door deals with four mentally disabled men who live in a group home. The play consists of brief vignettes about their lives partially narrated and observed by their caretaker. Though the play is quite humorous in its non-mocking way of dealing with the handicapped men in real situations, it also takes a critical look at how mentally handicapped people are treated and looked at by others.
