Britain's What's On Event Guide
Wish You Weren’t Here
A hilarious and heart-warming exploration of family relationships across generations, the agony of growing up, and how to find your way in the world.

After all those extra shifts, all Lorna wants is a night out on the town and to reconnect with her daughter. All 16-year-old Mila wants is for the world to stop burning. And for someone to take down that ‘Beach Body Ready’ poster, please!
As mum and daughter check into their ‘premium’ room where they can almost see the sea, they discover that their favourite seaside town could really use some attention – just like their relationship.
Join them on their fairground rollercoaster of a journey, brilliantly written by Katie Redford (Tapped, Theatre503; Yellow Lips, BBC Radio 4) with plenty of laughs along the way.
Directed by Rob Watt (Human Nurture, Birds and Bees), and produced by Theatre Centre and Sheffield Theatres, this world premiere production has been created in conversation with hundreds of young people across the country.
