Supported by British Council
Little Brother by Eoin McAndrew is a darkly comic yet deeply moving play about love, guilt, and the impossible task of saving someone you love from themselves. When Niall, a young man from Belfast, survives an act of self-immolation, his older sister Brigid takes him in, determined to help him recover. As she tries to keep him safe - removing every source of fire from her flat, monitoring his medication, and making lists to keep control—their shared history and strained sibling bond come under pressure. Niall’s trauma and self-destructive impulses clash with Brigid’s anxious caretaking, revealing the limits of compassion when mental illness and shame run deep..
As months pass, Brigid’s own life begins to unravel under the weight of responsibility, and both siblings are forced to confront how far love can stretch before it breaks. Blending humour and heartbreak, Little Brother examines the blurred lines between care and control, recovery and relapse, and the quiet heroism of those who stay.
