Description
Join this rehearsed reading scripted by Nicola McCartney in collaboration with care experienced people and those within the care system. A powerful work where care, class and poverty meet. It examines what care really means in contemporary Scotland and asks: what if instead of ever more complicated systems we can increase support, compassion and love?
Directed by Claire Lamont and performed by Maureen Carr, Daniel Cahill, Callum Cuthbertson, Brooklyn Melvin, Yolanda Kettle and Neshla Caplan.
We recommend staying for the related panel discussion that follows this reading, called 'Care, love and understanding?'. You can purchase a discounted combo ticket for both events, or separate tickets for each.
In partnership with the National Theatre of Scotland.
