Education @ The Palace and Vision West Nottinghamshire College Performing Arts Department present this new play by Alan Dawson as part of the Write Track programme.
Poppy is seventeen and lives in a children’s’ home – estranged from her younger brother and junkie mother. Her relationships with staff and other young people in the home are severely impacted upon by her attachment disorder.
Once eighteen, Poppy will have to leave the safety of the home and make her own way into adult life.
Struggling to make sense of their own worlds, Robert, the Care Manager, and Poppy continuously clash with devastating consequences. Poppy’s new key-worker, Sally, struggles to keep the peace between them, in a care home that is lacking in inspiration and well-being.
