Coram Boy
Written by Jamila Gavin Directed by Kate Plumb Designed by Catherine Chapman & Lydia Denno Adapted from the novel by Helen Edmundson
Aaron, the abandoned heir to a great estate and his friend Toby, saved from an African slave ship, seek the parents who left them at The Coram Hospital for Deserted Children. Eighteenth century England closes around them as Handel's Messiah sets the tone and tempo in this outstanding piece of contemporary drama.
Originally produced at the National Theatre, Coram Boy was nominated for Olivier, Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards.
There will be a book signing and post-show talk with the award winning author, Jamila Gavin on Thu 26 Aug. For more information click here
