My boy Danny Live at the Theatre Deli

My Boy Danny - Live at the Theatre Deli, June 2024
A play by Alfie James
“My Boy Danny” is a play by award-winning Writer, Actor and Director Alfie James. Every night Ange stands by the window looking out with the hope to see her son one last time looking up at her from across the road. Instead, every night for the past eleven months there’s been a shadow standing there in his place. Desperate for answers, Ange lets the shadow in.
Rory is just a regular awkward teenage boy. Or at least he was until that night when it all went wrong. Desperate to tell his story and to reach out to a woman he’d never met but knew so much about.
My boy Danny premiered at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre on 11th October 2021 and received standing ovations each night and quickly gained critical acclaim both as an audio and live piece dealing with issues of gang knife crime and hate crime towards members of the LGBTQIA + community.
Performed at The Theatre Deli in an intimate performance as part of our R&D project to further develop the play with the hope of offering it as a free community / educational resource in the future.
