Life of Reilly
The Life Of Reilly is a heart-warming, heart-breaking and hilarious tale of a family, trying to negotiate their way through teenage tantrums, autism, and Grandma!
About Life of Reilly
After a smash hit run at the Edinburgh Festival Life of Reilly heads out on tour. Reilly’s mum always knew there was something different about her son, but she hoped he would grow out of it to become less demanding and more interactive with other kids. Her daughter felt angry, her husband felt rejected and she just felt exhausted.
Then came the bombshell: Reilly was diagnosed with autism. Everyone tried to pull together but when Grandma moved in to “help out” things took a decided downward turn!!!
This is a heart-warming, heart-breaking and hilarious tale of a family, trying to negotiate their way through teenage tantrums, autism, and Grandma.
