Based on the memoir by Frank McCourt

From the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Angela's Ashes.

Tenney Diamond Productions is developing a new stage adaptation of 'Tis, Frank McCourt's acclaimed continuation of the extraordinary journey begun in Angela's Ashes.

Conceived as an intimate five-character theatrical work, the adaptation explores identity, ambition, belonging, and the search for a place in the world.

With McCourt's characteristic wit, humanity, and unmistakable voice, 'Tis offers a richly theatrical portrait of a life in transformation.

A remarkable literary voice.
