Full Description
When Brigid gets a call from her brother Niall in the middle of the night, she knows something's wrong. After he ends up in hospital, Niall moves in with Brigid as she helps him piece his life back together.
Little Brother is a compelling exploration of a sibling relationship set in modern-day Belfast. Eoin McAndrew's darkly comic and beautifully observed new play shines a light on the crisis of care in Northern Ireland, the strength of a brother-sister bond and the unpredictable journey towards recovery. Sometimes being there for the people you love is very very very difficult.
Little Brother won the 2024 Verity Bargate Award, and is premiered at Soho Theatre in 2025, in a production directed by Emma Jordan.
