Sarah McDonald-Hughes's bittersweet comedy is about a 12-year-old girl who's forgotten what being a kid means. Performed by adults, it's a poignant depiction of her struggle to look after her unwell mother and her little brother that's full of pacy physical comedy. Directed by James Grieve. Produced in collaboration with Paines Plough and Theatr Clwyd.
'How to be a Kid' is playing in rep at the Orange Tree with two other contemporary plays: 'Black Mountain' and 'Out of Love'.
