Two Cockney friends, mysteriously bound together, argue about blame, friendship, and survival.

    A witty, fun, and apt depiction of what happens (physically and mentally) when we attach ourselves to those who stunt our growth. With vibes that honor Stoppard and Beckett, Loftus's short ten-minute piece delights and teaches important lessons about honoring one's own spirit.

    It's astounding how many twists and turns and how much action is packed into a play where two men are tied together. BOUND TO BICKER aptly illustrates what happens when people fight to be right as opposed to accepting each other's differences. It's a nail biter from start to finish and has strong Beckett vibes. BUDDY and CHUM are compelling characters and may be played by actors of all ages. BOUND TO BICKER would enhance any evening of shorts.
