BROTHERS
Brothers is a one-act, two-handed live theatre production. It tells the story of two estranged brothers, Matt and Jay, in their early 30s, who come back together as one fights testicular cancer and the other battles addiction. A rollercoaster, heart-wrenching, laugh out loud world theatre premiere, played by two actors who are actually brothers.
Written by Kerry Drumm, directed by Peter Newling and starring Daniel O’Kane and Liam O’Kane.
