Mixed-race teenager
Ted Martin is growing up in 90s East London.
It’s a house full of chaos, laughter and tough love.

And then Patrick arrives, shaking the foundations of Ted’s life with his sense of style, humour and love of show tunes.

Another way to live explodes into view. One filled with art and possibilities. And people who see Ted clearly for the first time.

Directed by Donmar Artistic Director Tim Sheader (When We Are Married, Jesus Christ Superstar) Danny Lee Wynter’s Ilford Boy is a funny and moving drama about the families we love, the families we choose, and the Streisand that helps us survive.

NOTE: Dates for your diary – Group booking for Donmar Friends ONLY is NOW open in addition to Ilford Boy for both….

MON 11 JANUARY
THE KING’S RANSOM
by Stuart Slade
The plan is simple. Kidnap Elvis Presley’s corpse.
Collect the $1 million ransom.
What could possibly go wrong?

WED 17 FEBRUARY
NO MAN’S LAND
by Harold Pinter
RUPERT EVERETT and
SIMON RUSSELL BEALE star in this funny and haunting masterpiece. (This will be hugely popular.)

Members of our Group who are not Donmar Friends can book for all three plays together NOW, but individual bookings for The King’s Ransom and No Man’s Land will open for our Group at a later date, subject to availability.

**SPECIAL NOTE: Many of our friends have told us that they would like to continue joining us at the theatre. As we shall not be able to organise coach transport in future, Cook’s Coaches do intend to run an optional coach to our shows. This will be a separate transaction from booking a show so you must book your coach fare directly with their office, as soon as possible after booking your theatre tickets with us. You can then still travel safely with friends, and benefit from our special group theatre ticket discounts.
Return COACH fare: Currently £22
Please note that the coach must be booked and payment made to Cook’s Coaches.
Enquiries – Tel: 01702 344702.
Seats on the coach will be allocated on receipt of payment.
