"When things are good, why doesn't God just let them stay that way?"

Raggleton. 1950s. For young Jimmy Sullivan, idyllic days at the beach, fishing off the wharf and pictures once a week are a distraction from convent school and a growing disharmony in his parent's marriage.

Struggling to reconcile the Almighty's love with the despondence of his home-life, he rebels against his friends, teachers and finally, his Creator, vowing no longer to be His 'God Boy'.

However, when the matrimonial feud takes a murderous turn, Jimmy is confronted by a test of faith that will forever change his life.

50 years after its first publication, Ian Cross's icon novel of a childhood blighted by adult tragedy makes its transition to the stage.

A true New Zealand classic, The God Boy is a haunting and evocative story of one boy's coming of age and his soul searching loss of innocence.
