‘Director Patsy Hughes successfully transposes the action from East London to North Belfast... this is a fine production that demonstrated that theatre for younger performers can both reflect the realities of life and offer challenges to performers far beyond the school musical’.

— Tom Maguire on Herons, Irish Theatre Magazine.

Pintsized Productions in Association with Greenroom Productions brings you Herons, by Simon Stephens. First produced at the Royal Court in 2001, it contains all the ingredients of urban dysfunction: damaged teenagers, emotionally absent parents, and slow burning violence.

Feile, Colaiste Feirste

Herons is about a lost generation of young people, urban dysfunction, damaged teenagers, absent parents and slow burning violence.

Billy’s dad has witnessed a terrible event and his evidence leads to Scott’s brother’s conviction. Scott subsequently bullies Billy on a daily basis but when Billy verbally retaliates, it’s a provocation too far.
