Cassie and the Lights
When her mother disappears, teenager Cassie wants to care for her sisters on her own. But can kids be parents? Or should Cassie let foster parents adopt her sisters and create a new family?
Alex Howarth's play Cassie and the Lights is a tender and playful examination of what makes a family and what holds it together. Based on real-life events and interviews with children in care, it celebrates the resilience of young people and the power of sisterhood.
Note to Performers: the play is written to be performed by three actors playing characters aged 17, 10 and 7. In the original production, there was also an onstage musician who has a few lines. Other characters were pre-recorded voices.
