Sunday Night Plague Shut-In Radio Drama - Rían Smith - The Boy In The Basement




The play took 3rd place in the PJ O'Connor Radio Drama Awards 2019.  Set in Dublin, The Boy in the Basement is a comedy centering around would-be-writer, 30 something Luke, who finds a 9 year old boy living in his basement.  As the boy shows no signs of moving out and going to the guards isn't an option, the presence of the boy initiates a remarkable change in Luke.

Listeners are advised that the play contains strong language.

Luke was played by Stephen Jones
Rachel was played by Séana Kerslake 
Louise Lewis played Mrs Wilson
Enda Oates was Niall 
Jim was played by David Pearse
Susan O'Loughlin played the guard
Christian Schlaubitz was The Boy

Sound Supervision was by Ciarán Cullen

The Boy in the Basement was directed by Gorretti Slavin 

This is kind of an odd-ball comedy.
