“Jack’s focus on the physical development of the characters and his open attitude to having me in the rehearsal room suits my writing perfectly and led to a holistic and moving performance. He enabled the actors to develop close relationships with their characters, whilst maintaining a sense of play, which meant that the group worked extremely well as an ensemble and the performances were spot on.” – Karen Morash, Playwright
When it comes to playground politics, it’s hard to tell the grown-ups from the children. Four very different mothers are forced to deal with each other after an incident at the local primary. Meanwhile, building site blunders threaten the rural idyll. Class, parenting styles, and Duplo collide in this slightly surreal look at the systems that keep us in our place, by playwright Karen Morash.
