Orphans

Work:: Orphans (S01978864482)

A darkly comic musical about family, grief and forgiveness, based on the much-loved cult film. Set in 1998, Orphans follows the Flynn siblings on a stormy night in Glasgow after the death of their mother. Thomas won't leave the church, Michael is bleeding and roaming the streets, John has a gun and is set on revenge while Sheila wants to live life on her own terms. But will the siblings survive the night to get to their mother's funeral?
