Folk

Synopsis

Winnie’s no ordinary nun.

She swears, she smokes, she drinks Guinness, and she loves a sing-song with Stephen.

But soon everything’s going to change.

Stephen’s lost his way.

Finding solace in music, he knows he must start again… if only he knew how.

Kayleigh is a teenager, unsure of herself.

But when unexpected circumstances lead her to Winnie and Stephen, she starts to find her voice.

Surprising and poignant, Folk is a hilarious and not-so-holy story of hope, coming together and finding your feet when your world is turned upside down.

It was co-produced in 2016 by Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Hull Truck Theatre and Watford Palace Theatre.
