3AM. Brigid’s phone rings. Her brother Niall is by the river with a plastic bag and lighter fluid. Little Brother is Eoin McAndrew’s darkly comic new play about sibling love, self-destruction, and what it means to save someone who doesn’t want to be saved. Set in modern-day Belfast, it asks what happens when the systems designed to help us fall short, and love is doing more heavy lifting than it should.

Little Brother premiered at the Soho Theatre in November 2026, this staged reading is directed by Rachel D’souza and performed by performed by Amba Suhasini Jhala, Dheer Hira, Santanu Ghatak and Lekha Parida.
