Can We Be Friends?: Rehearsed Reading
- Part of Grow Festival 2025
Orla is six and wants to meet her dad. Her mum, Rex, is buckling under the mental and financial pressure of single parenthood. Her best friend Pia’s life is perfect - from the outside. 'Can We Be Friends?' follows them all as they find family doesn’t have to look the way we’re told.
When it all falls apart and their lives are thrown together, will they sink or swim?
Can We Be Friends? explores motherhood, family and where we find our ‘village’ in a world that tells us there’s a right and wrong way to have a family.
Developing new work is supported by The Foyle Foundation.
