About Billy Boy

Listed Under Theatre Events

A new solo performer show by acclaimed playwright Rosemary Jenkinson, about young bonfire builders in East Belfast.

Performed by the amazing John Travers, it is a funny, moving and thought-provoking production, shining a light on a community many people haven't had the opportunity to get to know.

A fiery new play based on interviews with bonfire builders. Aaron is looking after the biggest and most controversial 'boney' in the East and is determined to fight the council's ruling. The problem is, if he gets into any more trouble, he might have to pack his bags.
