A Boy Is a Gun is an original sci-fi jukebox musical script built entirely from the music of Tyler, The Creator.
Set in the year 2092, A Boy Is a Gun takes place in the dystopian city of Chromakopia. It follows the story of Duke, Jane, and a monarch named Titan as a revolution begins to rise against control, surveillance, and manufactured identity. The narrative explores love, paranoia, and betrayal between Duke and Jane, while mirroring the shared hatred and unsettling similarities between Duke and Titan. It is a story of love and hate, fear and freedom, identity and power, victory and defeat.
Using 33 songs from across Tyler, The Creator's career, the script weaves music from all of his eras into a single cohesive narrative. Written by Sam Dereway, A Boy Is a Gun is his third hip-hop jukebox musical and his most ambitious work to date. Readers are encouraged to listen to the songs alongside the script for the full experience, allowing Tyler's music to bring the dialogue, emotions, and world vividly to life. This script is a must-read for fans of Tyler, the Creator, theatrical fiction, and innovative musical storytelling.
