WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
An epic adventure set in 18th-century England featuring more than 40 performers onstage along with seven musicians, Coram Boy has played two sold-out engagements at the National Theatre, winning the 2006 Time Out Live Best Play Award and receiving rave reviews from the UK critics. The play is adapted by Helen Edmundson from the 2000 Whitbred Young Adult Award winning novel by Jamila Gavin, and directed by Melly Still.
Coram Boy tells the tale of two orphans at the Coram Hospital for Deserted Children: Toby, saved from an African slave ship and Aaron, the abandoned son of the heir to a great estate. A story of fathers and sons, set in the dark heart of 18th-century England, Coram Boy is filled with danger and excitement.
A thrilling adventure that is also moving and uplifting, Coram Boy is recommended for audiences ages 12 and older, adults, and young adults.
All theatergoers ages 12-18 can attend the Broadway production at half price ($51.25) with the purchase of one full-priced ticket (reg. $101.25).

The sprawling Coram Boy arrives in Manhattan with the kind of quality credentials an ambassador presents to a head of state. The drama has been adapted from Jamila Gavin's 2000 Whitbread Children's Book of the Year by the venerable Helen Edmundson, whose previous transformations of Anna Karenina and The Mill on the Floss have won numerous awards
Moreover, for the last two years the production has been the sold-out Christmas presentation in the National Theatre's vast Olivier auditorium -- which is where I previously saw it -- and was eventually cited by London's Time Out as the year's best play. So why does something that was so distinguished on the English stage now look and sound so chao[...]
