Mixed-race teenager Ted Martin is growing up in 90s East London in a house full of chaos, laughter and tough love.
One day Patrick arrives, shaking the foundations of Ted's life with his sense of style, humour and love of show tunes. Another way to live explodes into view. One filled with art, possibility and people who see him clearly for the first time.
Directed by Donmar Artistic Director Tim Sheader, Ilford Boy is a funny, moving drama about the ghosts that follow us, the families we choose, and the Streisand that helps us survive.
Nestled in the heart of the West End, the Donmar Warehouse is in Covent Garden. Located on Earlham Street, the Donmar Warehouse is a thrust stage, which means that actors perform to audiences on three sides. The Donmar Warehouse seats 251 people across two levels - Stalls and Circle.
The Donmar Warehouse auditorium is on an upper level, and is approached by stairs. The Donmar is wheelchair accessible, with three wheelchair spaces in the auditorium.
In the stalls, seating is on one level, with side seats on the rake. As there are few rows on each side, there is good visibility of the stage in all stall seats.
The circle seats offer good visibility also, with a maximum of three rows of seating. There is a safety rail, but this does not impede on viewing.
