Sapling
Ten years after his brother’s murder, Gerry finds the past returning just as he is trying to grow beyond his hometown.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The story
In Northern Ireland in 1990, Gerry is a teenager hovering between familiar routines and adulthood. His days revolve around hanging out with a friend and dreaming of somewhere else, until the man who killed his brother is released under a new identity, the memorial garden is destroyed and a stranger arrives in town. Those events unsettle both Gerry’s present and the future he had imagined.
In the room
A coming-of-age story that places ordinary teenage behaviour alongside grief and unresolved events from a decade earlier, with humour and tenderness in the tone.
Good fit if you like
coming-of-age stories, Northern Irish settings, teenage friendships and families living with the consequences of past violence.
