Wish You Weren't Here

You didnt come for a weekend in Scarborough to watch Homes Under The Hammer. After all those extra shifts, all Lorna wants is a night out on the town and time to reconnect with her daughter. All 16-year-old Mila wants is for the world to stop burning. And for someone to take down that Beach Body Ready poster. Please. As mum and daughter check into their premium room where they can almost see the sea, they quickly discover that their favourite seaside town, which was once their annual sunny escape, could really use some attention just like their relationship. Katie Redford's Wish You Weren't Here is a hilarious and heart-warming exploration of family relationships, the agony of growing up, and how to find your way in the world when you cant help thinking youre just not good enough. This edition was published to coincide with Theatre Centre's UK tour in January 2024.
