Spark Performance: Shoelace Chaser

Being 17 is hard enough, hormones, homework, the looming question of what comes next. Add caring for your mum to the mix, and Thea's juggling act is nothing short of Olympic. Smart, self-sufficient and secretly just holding it together, she's spent the last two years keeping her life under wraps.

No one knows she's a carer. Not even Syd, her endlessly chatty new running partner who pushes her to pursue a university athletics scholarship and dream of something more. But chasing that future means leaving her mum behind and the last time Thea tried that, things didn't quite go to plan.

A fast paced, feel good play that looks at relationships, aspirations, family demands, leaving your home town and the future.

For Secondary School children 13 +.
