After the overwhelming success and feedback about our play Hillsborough One Boy's Story of a Tragedy which was performed for two nights in April 2024, to remember the 35th anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. The demand has been so positive that we will be performing it again. Thank you all for supporting us and Shaun Millea with his campaign to have the Hillsborough Disaster taught on the National Curriculum.
The show follows the life of young Frankie, who lives with his Mum, Dad, and sister Mary in their Liverpudlian family home. The family is often visited by Grandad who tells exaggerated tall tales of his past. Also, we have Uncle Terry and Aunty Lil who seem to visit at the worst possible moment and whip the kids up into a frenzy of excitement, before swiftly leaving Mum and Dad to pick up the pieces. It also highlights the family bond between parent and child, with a typical Dad who makes silly jokes and a quick-witted Mum who quips back, all while the young kids childishly make fun of each other.
Dad, goes to the match, on that fatefully day at Hillsborough, but doesn't come home, and family life is ripped apart so tragically, leaving a grieving Mum, to explain to the young children that their Dad Won't Be Home.
