The Whiteheaded Boy

The Whiteheaded Boy was first performed by the Abbey Theatre on 13.12.1916. Over 100 years later Blue Hat Productions are revisiting this Classic Play: which has gone into the Irish Theatrical Cannon.
The plot centres around the Geoghegan Family. Denis Geoghegan is ‘The Whiteheaded Boy’ of the title. He is the apple of his mother’s eye and the envy of his siblings.  Therefore, his inevitable fall from grace is particularly spectacular.
The play is as relevant today as when it was first presented at the Abbey in 1916. Not only does it reveal the dynamics of a family, but it is in fact a pointed analysis of Irish culture.
Blue Hat have chosen an ensemble cast to bring the characters and themes of this play to life.
We hope you enjoy !!!
