ALL IN A ROW
by Alex Oates
directed by Dominic Shaw
Laurence likes pizza.
Laurence is about to go to school.
Laurence thinks it’s okay to wee on mummy’s pillow.
Like any couple, Tamora and Martin have big hopes and dreams. But when your child is autistic, non-verbal, and occasionally violent, ambitions can quickly become a pipe dream.
In a household brimming with love, resentment and realisations, meet Tam, Martin and Laurence’s carer Gary as they struggle to care for their beloved boy. On the night before social services finally intervenes, who is the victim here? Who was the traitor? And who do you blame when you can no longer cope?
The team behind the triple Offie-nominated “sharp-witted, effortlessly engaging and surprisingly sweet” (Times) Silk Road brings you the world premiere of a startling new play, written by Alex Oates and directed by Dominic Shaw. All In A Row is a kitchen sink comedy-drama filled with heart… and French Fancies.
Recommended for ages 16+
