The guys at Brassneck are going on a fairly comprehensive tour of the country with the slightly creepy but very engaging sounding ‘The Blue Boy of Glenview’ by Joe Brennan. They start tonight in Roddy McCorley’s Club and finish up in The Lyric in May.

Winter 1978. Cooley Mountains, Ireland. Jemmy John is a tortured soul. The sheep on the glen and the farm are his life but his younger sister Colleen yearns for something much more. With the help of a local car mechanic, Colleen is determined to escape Glenmore for the chance at a better life… but her older brother is having none of it. The life-long conflict between these sibling rivals is the catalyst that ignites the shocking events that unfold.

A haunting, absorbing and sensational dark-comedy, ‘The Blue Boy of Glenmore’ is a truly unmissable piece of theatre! From the multi award-winning ‘Brassneck Theatre Company’ who brought you, ‘The Holy, Holy Bus’, ‘Man in the Moon’ & ‘A Night with George’.
