About

An Ilkley Playhouse Fringe Production

Can kids be parents? When Cassie’s mother disappears, the teenager wants to care for her sisters on her own. Is she the right person to be a parent now, or should she let foster parents adopt her sisters and create a new family? What does family actually mean?

Based on real-life events and interviews with children, this play has had sold out runs in London, Edinburgh and New York, with more than 40 4* and 5* reviews. The Guardian described the play as “thoughtful, warm, hugely moving ….. will leave you wanting to call whomever it is you think of as family”.

The production contains occasional strong language. Recommended for ages 12+
