The Olive Boy

Spring 2024

The Role - Producer & Director

The Project - Creating a UK tour of The Olive Boy, developing the show with the support of Arts Council England.

The Show - Based on Ollie Maddigan’s real life story, written and performed by Ollie himself. After the sudden death of his mother, a grieving yet quintessentially teenage boy is forced to change schools and move in with his, until that point, absent father. In a hopeless attempt to stay sane, he decides that the only way to move forward is to pursue the chances of him finally getting a real girlfriend. Like most things in his life, it does not go to plan.
