Sarah’s life implodes when her mother is diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Six months in limbo land makes her feel like she’s losing her mind. This is a story of hope and shopping lists, of being caught between ageing parents and teenage hormones and of what we do to keep going when all we want to do is give up. A solo piece written and performed by Sarah Barfoot, Artistic Director of Tanglehead Productions.
