Vamos Theatre
BOY ON THE ROOF

At no.73 Cooper Street, Brian Baxter wishes his son wasn’t so irritating. Liam Baxter can’t switch off, can’t sit still, he’s disruptive at school and chaotic at home. Liam just wishes someone understood him.

Three doors down, Albert keeps himself to himself, sticks to his routines. At 91, he knows what he likes and likes what he knows. But Albert misses his wife and just wishes that someone, somewhere, would have time for him.

Created through Community Conversations across the UK, gathering people’s experiences of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), loneliness, aging, hearing loss, connection and community, this is the story of an unlikely friendship, about acceptance, understanding and love.
