James treatment for Kiwi ‘boys together’ tale

The latest play by renowned British actor and writer Lennie James – The Sons of Charlie Paora – features a group of NZ actors telling a quintessentially NZ story. Charlie Paora explores the lives of five schoolboy rugby players  who reunite in their 20s to commemorate the death of their coach and mentor. James wrote the autobiographical film Storm Damage and has appeared in Cold Feet and Guy Ritchie’s Snatch. The Sons of Charlie Paora debuts at the Royal Court next year.
