FOREST FORGE THEATRE COMPANY PRESENTS THE BOY AT THE EDGE OF THE ROOM BY RICHARD CONLON

“He was not like other boys…. He did not see the world through the same eyes as us.”

A boy called Tony struggles to fit in and find his place. He has a different way of looking at the world and longs to retreat to a place where he can be 'nothing more than small and far off’. Those surrounding him have little patience for his dreams, with the exception of his mother who will do anything to ensure his happiness.

When a mysterious ‘dealer’ offers Tony the chance to make his dream come true, his mother must face a future without him....

A fairytale for adults, inspired by Lucy Clifford’s 1882 story Wooden Tony.
