A Prayer for my Daughter March 4, 2008
London, England SE1 8LZ
New York is hell. Daughters are murder.
1am on a steamy summer night. A grubby police office in downtown NYC.
Two cops and two crooks battle with wits and fists to uncover the truth about a murder.
Sean is back from Vietnam and unable to find his way. Jimmy has the look of a choir boy, but the attitude of a punk. Kelly’s daughter is on the end of the phone with a gun to her temple.
‘Okay. I’m gonna beat you up a little bit now because that’s going to make me feel better there, and then we can get back to this nice talk.’
This production of A Prayer for my Daughter brings together some of the strongest talent in theatre: Matthew Marsh (Glengarry Glen Ross, Copenhagen, Spooks, The Commander); Corey Johnson (The Bourne Ultimatum, Black Hawk Down, United 93, Band of Brothers, Frost/Nixon); Sean Chapman (A Mighty Heart, Joy Division, Gangster No.1, Angels in America); Colin Morgan (Vernon God Little, All About My Mother, Doctor Who).
Suitable for ages 16 and upwards
