About Damo & Ivor
Damo & Ivor is a comedy about the lives of two identical twin brothers separated not long after birth. When their troubled mother, unable to look after both of them, sells one of her children to a couple from the more affluent side of the city what results is a hilarious collision of class and culture which also looks at how each side perceives the other.
Their stories begin 22 years after their fateful separation. Damo, forced to move back home to Grano, after the squat he’s living in is demolished with him in it, discovers that Grano’s health has taken a turn for the worse.
Ivor’s life is also about to hit the skids. When an unfortunate incident involving a doctored pregnancy picture turns him onto the truth about his past (he had no idea he was adopted), Ivor decides to punish his parents. During a drunken rage he hands a pile of paperwork into the police that sheds light on his father’s illicit business dealings. When his adoptive parents discover this, they quickly go on the run, leaving their ungrateful son behind to fend for himself. How will he ever learn to cope in the real world?
