Ilford Boy

Ilford Boy is Danny Lee Wynter’s funny and moving world-premiere drama about identity, memory and chosen family. Growing up mixed-race in 1990s East London, teenager Ted Martin lives in a household filled with chaos, laughter and tough love. The arrival of the stylish, show-tune-loving Patrick reveals a different kind of life—one shaped by art, possibility and people who see Ted clearly. Directed by Donmar artistic director Tim Sheader, the play explores the ghosts that follow us and the relationships that help us survive.
