by Mike Kenny (UK – Based on an original idea from Gavin Stride)
Directed by Thomas Morgan Jones
Five year old Esme’s annual visit to Grandad Stan’s and Nanna Queenie’s is a time full of games, laughter, and family. This year … this year something is different. Where is Nanna Queenie?
A delicately written and charming drama exploring a child’s first experience of loss and change through a story that celebrates the special bond shared by grandparents and grandchildren.
Performed by two actors using song and story within a colourful seaside setting.
