| Summary |
Set in 1950s Ireland, 'The Speckled People', adapted by the author from his best-selling memoir, tells the story of a small boy trapped in a language war between Irish, from his nationalist west Cork father; German from his immigrant mother, who came from an anti-Nazi family; and English, spoken by the other children in Dublin. The young Hugo Hamilton struggles with what it means to be 'speckled' - 'half and half ... Irish on top and German below'. A gripping, poignant and often hilarious family drama, 'The Speckled People' was premiered at the Gate Theatre, Dublin, in October 2011 |
