In Salford alone, 34,000 children are caring for someone. Adapted
from real-life testimonies, this bold and pertinent piece of
documentary theatre examines our failing care system, the impact of
austerity and what happens when a child becomes the parent. Jade,
Connor and Nicole all care for parents and siblings. They must
juggle school and homework with caring for family members, making
appointments, collecting prescriptions and running the home. Their
hidden lives of caring have impacted their education, social life
and health. Their testimonies are woven together, alongside those
of social workers and parents, in this hard-hitting play. "It's
tear-jerking throughout - accidents, abuse, disability, depression
and suicide, all born on the backs of teenagers - and infuriating,
too. Woodhead's script, filleted from interviews with real people
who really faced these issues, points the finger squarely at
austerity and its crippling effects on local councils and the
services they can provide." (The Stage) A gripping verbatim theatre
production based on a year of interviews that offers a rare insight
into a year in the lives of young carers.
