Who cares for you when your parent is in prison?

Kailey’s mum’s been sent to prison, and she needs to grow up – fast. She’s just turned eighteen; first job, her own place, big nights out. This might just be freedom after all.  But when you’re young and your parent is taken away, who do you turn to when things get a little too messy?

Inspired by writer Kerry Wright’s own lived experience, KAILEY is a bold new play that shines a light on society’s forgotten young people. Funny and searingly honest, KAILEY doesn’t ask for sympathy; it demands you look closer.

Age guidance: 14+

Running time approx. 60 mins

Content warning: strong language throughout. Explores difficult themes of parental imprisonment and the criminal justice system. Also, there are mention of drugs, verbal abuse, alcohol consumption, and sexual harassment.
