'Dirrrty boys': two 10-year-old murderers

In February 1993, in Liverpool, two ten-year-old boys, Jon and Robert, kidnapped and brutally killed a two-year-old boy. Becoming one of the most media cases of the time in England, where the murderers were tried as adults, the Bulger case has dragged on over time, generating news, many of them with little credibility, but also a novel, a movie , a television series, a pop song and many gruesome documentaries.

Now, with the title Dirrrty boys, it comes to the theater, with the dramaturgy of Gerard Guix and the direction of Àgata Casanovas of the company Las Bestias, who resumes the case and carries out a deep investigation work on the consequences of the acts, imagining how It must be the life of the murderers up to the present, pending the news in order, if necessary, to add a new scene when the news requires it.

Premiered at the Akadèmia theater a couple of years ago, now the programming of L'Off La Villarroel recovers Dirrrty boys, this moving piece of documentary theater, which has been recognized with several awards, especially for its two performers, two young actors in the tune: Martí Cordero and Sergi Espina. Performances are offered in matinees at 12:30 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, and on Monday evenings at 8 p.m.

Dirrrty boys is what today is called a theatrical true crime, which talks above all about second chances.
