Itโs been a privilege to represent carers & speak their truth. This play has really touched people, itโs been a wonderful job with beautiful words & inspiring creatives. Lush to play both my childhood home & my old youth theatre. Sharing a stage with these two Dames was a dream๐ซ

"After a lifetime of domestic familiarity, the residents find themselves permanently displaced... Are we too willing, the play asks, to farm out our elderly relatives to a place that is home in name only?"

Out of area this eve to watch @Beyond_Caring in Trindon Grange Community hall. A beautifully crafted, tender, thought provoking play about life for staff and residents in a care home by @ChristinaCastli . Not shocking or scandalous but based on real stories which pull on every..

"This tender telling of tales from the perspective of residents, care workers and relatives struck a chord and pulled on it."
Another great review for #BeyondCaring, this time from the lovely people @NorthEastBylines...

"Beyond Caring shows what should be the exceptional and the politically outrageous as it is seen from the ground up: the everyday business of a care workerโs life."
