A Wee Home From Home was first co-produced by Communicado and Frank McConnell in 1988, and was originally directed by Gerry Mulgrew having been devised by him with Frank McConnell, Michael Marra and Karen Tennent.
The production was remounted in 2009 by plan B with the original creative team. Directed by Gerry Mulgrew, one of Scotland's greatest theatre directors, with music by the acclaimed singer/songwriter Michael Marra and choreography by award-winning Frank McConnell, A Wee Home From Home is a highly charged and compelling dance-theatre piece that explores the dizzying emotions and memories that one man’s homecoming can provoke. Told with affection, and wandering through other familiar territory that would rather be forgotten, the show is a roller coaster ride down an unpredictable memory lane.
Frank McConnell’s inspired and well-observed choreography perfectly partners the caustic and heart breaking observations contained in Michael Marra’s exceptional live music. Powerful, telling and seriously funny, A Wee Home From Home celebrates a vibrant and indomitable spirit in a show that offers a perfect mix of dance, music and theatre at its very best.
