BOY A is a powerful coming-of-age drama
that raises difficult questions about the morals of our
times.
BOY A is a fictional story starring Andrew Garfield (Evening
Standard and Critics’ Circle theatre awards winner 2006) as
Jack. His involvement in the murder of another child means
Jack, at 24, has spent most of his young life in juvenile
prisons. Released from prison into an unrecognizable adult
world, Jack is given a new name, new job, new home; a new
life. But anonymity is both a blessing and a curse as Jack
has to contend with not being able to tell the people he
gets to know, and love, of his true past and the monstrous
secret he must keep hidden.
The drama also stars acclaimed actor and director Peter
Mullan (The Magdalene Sisters, Children of Men) as Terry,
Jack’s care worker and the only person he can really trust.
Co-starring Shaun Evans (Teachers) and Katie Lyons (Green
Wing), BOY A is based on the award-winning novel by Jonathan
Trigell, has been adapted for the screen by writer Mark
O’Rowe and is directed by John Crowley (Pinter’s
Celebration, Intermission).
