A life affirming play about the elusive connection between loss and rebirth.
A single mum, two feuding pre-teens, and their gran. When Grandmother takes a fall, she is hastily moved to a care home she doesn’t want to be in, surrounded by other elderly people longing for comfort and missing home. But as time passes, she comes to see what really matters in life and between loss and loneliness, we glimpse the unexpected joy in life’s everyday moments.
The Development of CARE was supported by the Polonsky Foundation, and the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
