About this Event
Flock
Flock follows two siblings growing up in care whilst navigating early adulthood; Robbie wants nothing more than to be a grown up and live with his sister Cel. Cel wants to go to university and find the kind of love her mother never had. They both want to be free from the care system. Director Jim Pope comments, Lin Coghlan's script, celebrated for its empathy and magical realism, makes Flock a beacon of truth in the portrayal of underserved communities.
Presented by Playing ON Theatre Company, creating a world where communities are better understood, Flock shines a light on the intricacies of providing safety from unimaginable situations and the community of voices which you must comprehend as a young person in an adult world. It is a show about moving forward, moving on and moving through memories – it is carrying a system with you which you didn’t necessarily asked to be a part of.
Playing ON Theatre Company use theatre to allow historically marginalised groups to share what they need to share, improving the wellbeing of all. This tour is not just a series of performances but a call to action, a chance to witness the resilience and potential of young individuals who have overcome the odds. It’s an opportunity for audiences across the country to support and acknowledge the narratives of those who have been historically underrepresented in the arts.
