Set in the early 60s it tackles the great themes of family, violence and the pull of the tribe through the story of an Irish family of brothers living in England. Taking place over one night of confrontation with a rival gang in which the oldest brother is forced to take a stand against his father. A Whistle in the Dark is a primal play which has all the power and energy of a thriller and the soul of a Greek tragedy.
