My Child

Synopsis

A real man is strong.

A real man is driven.

A real man provides.

A father finds himself being phased out of his son's life.

Denied access to his only child, he goes to extraordinary lengths to hold on to him.

My Child throws us into a violent world where good intentions count for very little, and offers an incisive, honest look at what it means to be a good parent.

Premiered at the Royal Court Theatre Jerwood Theatre Downstairs, this is a remarkably powerful and affecting work from a writer hailed by The Stage as 'one of the most exciting new talents to emerge in recent times'.
