Henry has dropped out of school to look after Mummy Dearest.
Mia is about to be booted out all of her own accord.
Mummy is a beautifully spoken monster, drunkenly indulging her own decline.
And Daddy? In absentia, but rushing home from Hong Kong to fix things as only his money can.
And now it’s time for this fractured family to face a reality they have avoided for far too long.
Written when she was just 19, Polly Stenham's trail-blazing debut left London audiences gobsmacked, picking up every award under the sun. Told with youthful swagger, tremendous heart and a dark, mischievous sense of humour, Stenham explodes the tricky interface between neglect and active abuse. When children are forced to act like parents, and parents ignore their responsibilities, who has the right to dictate the future?
In a real mother of a play, Generation Y bites back at the Baby Boomers.
