Coming soon from Salamander Street: POPPIES by Jim Coming soon from Salamander Street: POPPIES by Jim Spencer Broadbent & Johnjoe Irwin.

Jim is English. Johnjoe is Irish. They’re best friends. They live together, drink tea together, take the piss out of each other — and then Jim says he wants to wear a poppy.

What begins as a conversation between two mates quickly spirals into a sharp, funny and increasingly surreal exploration of friendship, masculinity, Britishness, Irishness, memory, colonialism and the emotional weight carried by a small paper flower.

A fierce, fast-moving two-hander with wit, theatricality and heart.

Cast: 2 | Duration: 75 minutes
Available soon from Salamander Street.

In this excellent blog for Salamander Street, Ollie Maddigan reflects on The Olive Boy, writing powerfully about teenage grief, humour as defence, masculinity, and the difference between the “front” we present and the truth underneath.
