Broderick's first memoir, Orangutan, was published by Random House in 2009.[2][3] It describes his first twenty years as an immigrant in New York City, in Broderick's words, "working construction, the drinking, the failed marriages, jail, the usual stuff."[4][5]
His 2013 follow-up memoir detailing his childhood growing up in Northern Ireland, entitled That's That, was also published by Random House.[4]
Filmsedit
Broderick's first feature film, Emerald City, premiered at the Curzon Cinemas theatre in Soho, London on 27 November 2016 as part of The London Irish Film Festival.[6][7] The movie is loosely based on his own experiences of working in the construction trade in New York City while trying to establish a career as a writer. It was produced with support from Brendan Coyle's Anderson Shelter Productions and Josh Brolin's Brolin Productions.[8] Coyle is listed as a co-producer. John Duddy, a former professional boxer from Derry, Northern Ireland who made his acting debut in Broderick's first stage play, was cast in the film as Podge, an ex-fighter working in construction.[9]
Broderick has had two of his plays performed in New York City. His first, Father Who, ran for three weeks[when?] at the Bronx's Macalla Theatre Company, which has since closed.[12] The cast included John Duddy, in his first acting role. The play was also performed at Theatre 80, a historic theater and former speakeasy located on St. Mark's Place in Manhattan's East Village, for a shorter run in early 2014.[13] On 7 March 2014, Broderick tweeted that Liam Neeson had attended a performance.[14]
Broderick's Poor Mouth Theatre Company [15] presented his second play, Spudmunchers in 2012. The production was staged in a popular Bronx bar in 2012. Broderick also directed the play, a story of two Irish brothers living together in Woodlawn Heights, a predominantly Irish-American working-class neighborhood in the Bronx.[16]
