May we recommend…?

How A Boy Falls lives in a mystery/thriller genre that dominates book culture and is popular in film, but is much more rarely seen on stage.

Since that may leave you wondering how you’ll feel about a theatrical thriller, we asked the production team and Northlight staff for their best—and most relevant—book, film, or television recommendations.

If you liked any of these popular books, movies, and shows, we think you’re poised to love How A Boy Falls. And if you’ve already seen and loved the play, then check out some of these!
