The internationally acclaimed story comes of age on stage.

Édouard Louis was put on the international map at just 21 with this devastating true account of growing up gay and poor in rural France. The perpetual grey weather that hung over Eddy met its human counterparts in Eddy’s alcoholic father, miserable mother, brooding half-brother and a school culture of bullying, homophobia and misogyny. Eddy's only option: to find a way out.

Originally created for a young audience, this adaptation of Louis' moving memoir is anything but deflating, however, mustering a theatrical and televisual arsenal to reclaim the joie de vivre every outsider deserves. Two performers play Eddy and every other character in this lovingly detailed story, while a quartet of mobile TV screens expand the narrative into new dimensions.

Often manifesting a mischievous irreverence towards theatre conventions and tapping a profound vein of empathy, The End of Eddy draws out the universal themes inherent in this stunning autobiography to create something more. We know you'll feel it too.
