ORPHANS

by Dennis Kelly
Traverse Theatre Company & Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company in association with Paines Plough

World Premiere

"I hate violence. It makes me cry. Always has..."

Helen and Danny keep themselves to themselves. But the outside world comes crashing into their lives one day when Helen's brother turns up. Covered in blood.

Dennis Kelly's new play is a thrilling contemporary suspense story which takes its audience on a chilling journey into a world just outside the front door.

The star cast for Orphans includes Robin Hood’s Joe Armstrong, Jonathan McGuinness (The Catherine Tate Show) and Claire-Louise Cordwell who has been seen most recently as Desdemona in Frantic Assembly’s Othello and in Ché Walker’s The Frontline (Shakespeare's Globe).

One of the UK's most electrifying playwrights, Dennis Kelly has written an array of award-winning plays including After The End, Taking Care Of Baby, Osama The Hero, and Love And Money.

This disturbing urban drama is a world premiere that reunites the team that brought After The End to the Traverse in 2005.

This play contains strong language.
