Description
A stage adaptation of Sara Ryan's powerful account of the preventable death of her son Connor Sparrowhawk while in an NHS care unit. Premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre, London.
'An urgent look at our broken care system... compelling and heartfelt... a mighty testimony that will leave you furious'
'A moving story about love, laughter and the indomitability of one family's fighting spirit... deft and shocking'
'Heartfelt and colourful... a story told with love and fury'
'Hard hitting... balances the procession of grim, galling details against humanising, light-hearted moments... succeeds both as a tribute to Connor's family, and as a galvanising call for deeper compassion and greater support'
'Powerful... hideously timely... a shocking story'
'Gripping and thought-provoking'
'A bittersweet docu-play about brutal neglect and apathy... a beautiful elegiac celebration of Connor Sparrowhawk's life and what it means to fight for someone you love... effective and enormously touching'
'Startling and impassioned'
'Touching... properly unnerving... always gripping and informative'
'A very powerful, beautifully written play that deserves to be seen as widely as possible'
