The alarm rings. You take a breath. Then it starts

Sitting at the back of the bus, skipping the lunch queue and skiving lessons. At school Nicole, Jade and Connor are just like everybody else. But when they get home, things are very different. Adapted from real-life testimonies, award-winning theatre company LUNG examine our failing care system, the impact of austerity and what happens when a child becomes the parent.

This show is to help identify hidden young carers, to raise awareness of young carers amongst potential peers and to signpost young carers to support services in their area. This show and the workshops are for Year 8 and above.

LUNG’s previous productions include Amnesty International award-winning Trojan Horse, The 56, Chilcot and E15.
