Home Boy Home

A contemporary drama that deals with the legacy of the past, shared history and the road to reconciliation, Home Boy Home is set in a prosperous Derry catholic home. The father, a university professor, has died and his family - two daughters and one son - return home for the funeral. Also present is their contemporary, the son of their former neighbour, a man they have not seen for more than twenty years. The play explores themes of friendship and loyalty as the experiences of the characters are examined in both childhood flashbacks and present day scenes to reveal how the past has impacted upon their lives forever. Atmospheric and poetic, Home Boy Home is a brilliant deconstruction of the modern Irish family that mixes comedy and tragedy in equal measure.
