About this event

Based on Mary Norton’s beloved adventure novels, The Borrowers follows the fortunes of the tiny Clock Family. The Clocks live secretly in the walls and floors of a country house and “borrow” from the big people in order to survive.

Their lives are plunged into chaos one day when the family’s youngest member, independent 11-year-old Arrietty, is seen by a ‘human bean’, a boy who has recently returned from India. To survive, the Clocks must spread their wings and take a perilous and adventure-filled journey into the outside world to find a new home and search out their long-lost family members.

This Irish Premiere production of THE BORROWERS will be directed by the Gate Theatre’s Artistic Director, Róisín McBrinn. The show, adapted for the stage from Norton’s novels by Charles Way, will feature songs written and composed by Fionn Foley.
