Synopsis:

Hugo Hamiltons best-selling memoir, The Speckled People, has been hailed as an instant classic and has been translated into twenty languages. The Gate Theatre is delighted to present this world première of the authors adaptation of this extraordinary work. The Speckled People tells the profoundly moving story of a young boy trapped in a language war. Set in 1950s Ireland, this is a gripping, poignant, and often a very funny family drama. As a young boy, Hamilton struggled with what it means to be speckled, half and half...Irish on top and German below. Caught between his fiercely nationalistic father and his warm-hearted German mother, Hugo must free himself from his parents secrets before he can find a place where he belongs.
