They say love is the glue that holds family together. When love is scarce, sometimes porridge will have to do.
With 17 original Irish songs, Porridge Boy is a brand-new musical, written and directed by singer-songwriter Brendan Shelly (The Cold Head, Chrome Yellow).
In Ireland 1979, Porridge Boy is the youngest son trying to stop his family getting ripped apart by the grief that now lives with them.
The country was just beginning to free itself from the grip of the church and state. The people were finally starting to feel positive at the first promise of a new tomorrow.
But for this family, tomorrow seems a far way off. Right now, they’re just trying to deal with the very real loss that hangs over their today. Every day.
With the Irish wit of Roddy Doyle, the biting honesty of Frank McCourt, and the musical stylings that recall the smash hit Once, Porridge Boy is about the power of grief and the part it plays in shaping our lives. It’s a powerful, personal, hug of a show. A hug that will stay with you for a very long time.
Age Recommendation: 15+ | Running Time: 1h50mins plus interval | Content Warnings: Contains themes of bereavement, mild violence, and mature language.
