This play is about family. Bob and Fran have been married for more than 30 years, and have four grown-up children who all (currently) live close by. Their home has seen them through many of life's ups and downs, and as they start thinking about a new phase of their lives, they also try to cling on to their children who are desperate for new starts of their own.
Director: Stephen Hayward
Performances: 24 - 28 Nov 2026
First Rehearsal: 13 Sep 2026
Characters:
Bob: Male - early 60s - retrenched factory worker. Worked hard all his life and loves his family. Is struggling to adapt to the changes that are happening around him.
Fran: Female - late 50s/early 60s - experienced nurse. Practical, responsible, jumps into action as soon as she sees a problem, even if it’s not always the best course of action.
Pip: Female - early 30s - works for the Department of Education. Ambitious and headstrong, but is it time for her to follow her heart rather than her responsibilities? Singing ability would be a bonus.
Mark/Mia: 30ish - works in IT. Mark is discovering that they are trans-female and ends the play as Mia. You will need to be comfortable and sensitive with this journey. Trans actors are very much encouraged to apply for this role.
Ben: Male - late 20s - One of the lads. Or at least he wants to be. Feels the pressure to succeed and maybe goes too far with it.
Rosie: Female - late teens - doesn't know who she is or what she wants to be yet. In the play she experiences a lot of things for the first time, but her love for her family remains true throughout. Must be 18+ to apply.
