About the Show
Porridge Boy centres on a family, trying to ignore the ever-present shadow of grief that lives in every corner of every room of their home. They say love is the glue that holds a family together. When love is scarce, porridge will have to do. Grab a spoon and tuck into Porridge Boy, a brand-new musical to satisfy every heart’s appetite for love. Ireland. 1979. A country about to free itself from the grip of the church and state. A country where people are starting to feel positive at the promise of a new tomorrow. But for one 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.
