The Last Songbird (working title) is a new piece of character driven theatre rooted in lived experience and emotional truth.
It explores love, illness and survival through the eyes of a young carer navigating adulthood, parenthood and loss.
Developed through new writing and sharing programmes, the work combines humour, tenderness and emotional clarity through the lens of social realism.
‘Beautiful opening, tender. I Would love to follow the whole story’
‘This is a really powerful piece, the dialogue is layered with beautiful moments’
