We don't use the word BRILLANT lightly, but these brillant reviews for
OH, BROTHER are deserved!
Written by Callum Maxwell
Directed by Lee Coffey
Performed by Callum Maxwell as Michael
& Ruairí Lenaghan as Matthew.
Matthew and Michael have both always wanted one thing. A sibling. Now all they have to do is meet. Easy right? But how do you introduce yourself to someone you should already know? Filled with anxiety, hope and no questions unasked. A tale of two brothers united at last.
This witty, hard-hitting show follows our two lads as they juggle the expectations versus the reality of having a brother. All catapulted forward by general anxiety, fear of the unknown and the reason they never got to meet in the first place - their Mam.
