SLIDING WITH SUZANNE
by Judy Upton

Designer - Julian McGowan
Lighting - Johanna Town
Sound - Paul Arditti

Cast - Loo Brealey, Bryan Dick, Monica Dolan, Roger Frost, June Watson, Danny Worters

"I woke up...looked at you lying there next to me. And I saw my son"

35 and on the slide, Suzanne does a runner back home to Brighton in search of a new start. But home is a place where big breaks are scarce. And kids grow up - fast. So how do you find what you want in a place like this? And who do you find it with?

Sliding with Suzanne is the latest play from the award-winning author of Ashes and Sand. Caustic, funny and compelling, it's the story of a single foster mum who tries to turn her life around.
