East Belfast Boy | Every Day I Wake Up Hopeful

East Belfast Boy by Fintan Brady: Meet Davy. The things he sees. His streets. His mates. His girl and… The Boys. With pumping techno, pulverising movement and street sharp poetry, ‘East Belfast Boy’ is a rollercoaster ride and a cliché-free zone.

‘A magical and sad slice of life of youth on the dole.’ **** British Theatre Guide

Every Day I Wake Up Hopeful by John Patrick Higgins: Malachy has made a decision, perhaps for the first time in his life. Tonight is the night. He has six bottles of wine, a bucket of chicken and he wants to talk about it. He really wants to talk about it.

Poignant and confessional, ‘Every Day I Wake Up Hopeful’ is also desperately funny. Funny to the bone.

‘Lusciously theatrical… ‘Every Day I Wake up Hopeful’ is a funny, sad, touching paean to the profundity of supposedly small lives and small thoughts’ CultureHub Magazine
