Winner of The People's Play Award 2006
Synopsis:
Fifteen year old Jenny has never known her mother. Until now. Raised by her father and at loggerheads with his no-nonsense girlfriend, Jenny retreats into a fantasy world where her mother is a glamorous movie star of 1930s Hollywood. Imagination is a powerful thing, and as Jenny and Mam become closer the lines between reality and make believe are blurred. This darkly comic, refreshingly surreal new drama takes a sideways look at obsession, escapism and that old adage "you can't choose your family". . ..or can you?
