In the Name of the Son is an exciting play chronicling the extraordinary life of The Guildford 4's Gerry Conlon following his release from prison in 1989. The play charts Conlon's remarkable journey into 'freedom' as he enjoyed fame and fortune, rubbing shoulders with celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Shane McGowan and Daniel Day Lewis. Conlon seemed to have it all but away from the glamour, fuelled by an addiction to crack-cocaine, his life was spiralling out of control. A story of darkness and resilience, In the Name of the Son follows Conlon from his lowest point to his eventual life-changing recovery, beating his demons and becoming a world-renowned human rights campaigner.
