Way Home, The
A spiky play about the clash between suburban and itinerant ways of life in present-day Liverpool. Bobby, Paul and Ange. Three people, four walls: the basic recipe for family life. Down the road in Oil Street there are no walls, just wheels, and a fierce sense of belonging that has nothing to do with place. Two ways of life: yards apart and yet worlds apart. But when Bobby starts skipping school to hang out with Danny, their friendship forces both families to look beyond the walls that divide them.
