Porridge Boy at Greenwich Theatre

They say love is the glue that holds a family together. When love is scarce, porridge will have to do. Grab a spoon and tuck into Porridge Boy, a brand-new musical to satisfy every heart’s appetite for love.

Ireland. 1979. A country about to free itself from the grip of the church and state. A country where people are starting to feel positive at the promise of a new tomorrow.

But for one family, tomorrow seems a far way off. Right now, they’re just trying to deal with the very real loss that hangs over their today. Every day. 

With the Irish wit of Roddy Doyle, the biting honesty of Frank McCourt, and the musical stylings that recall the smash hit Once, Porridge Boy is a powerful, personal, hug of a show. A hug that will stay with you for a very long time.
