After critically-acclaimed performances in Dublin and New York, Sebastian Barry’s On Blueberry Hill transfers to London’s Trafalgar Studios in 2020.

Following the lives of two prisoners who spend every waking moment together in jail, see what The New Yorker called a “beautiful, mesmerising, mysterious” play that’s bursting with compassion, exploring what it means to forgive, to love and to survive.
