THEATRE – Orphans by Dennis Kelly – Bakehouse – From 7-23 Nov

Orphans by Dennis Kelly

Presented by: Blue Fruit Theatre

Orphans is a psychological thriller which explores the conflict between family ties and moral responsibility.  It is a relentless, brilliant and horrific trip into nightmare territory.

Helen, Danny and their 6-year-old son Shane live in an urban environment fraught with random violence. They keep themselves to themselves but the outside world comes crashing in one evening when Helen’s brother Liam turns up, covered in somebody else’s blood.

Written by Dennis Kelly (Love and Money, Osama the Hero, Matilda) Orphans is an award-winning play which takes its audience on a chilling journey into a dark world just outside their front door, asking how far we would go to protect those closest to us.

“A play should be sort of like a person, you know, funny and kind but also capable of incredible cruelty…” Dennis Kelly
