Having opened at Bristol Old Vic earlier this month, Sally Cookson's WONDER BOY is now touring the UK - starring Ciaran O'Breen.
Directed by Olivier Award-Winner Sally Cookson, Ross Willis’ play is “a heart-warming and inspiring story about the power of communication”.
Sonny is twelve. He stammers and is finding his way in a world ruled by vicious vowels, confusing consonants, and let’s not forget the biggest beast of them all –small talk. Sonny’s only friend is Captain Chatter, a comic book hero of his own creation, but in the realworld, language is power and Sonny must find a way to be heard. When cast in the school production of Hamlet by the Headteacher, he finds the real heroes are closer than he thinks.
Packed with playful humour, dazzling visuals and thrilling original music this innovative production includes live creative captioning on stage throughout.
Winner of the 2023 Writers’ Guild Award for Best Play.
