Description

Can kids be parents? When Cassie's mother disappears, the teenager wants to care for her sisters on her own. Is she the right person to be a parent now, or should she let foster parents adopt her sisters and create a new family? Based on real-life events and interviews with children in care and with live music, Cassie and the Lights examines our ideas of what makes a family. Best Theatre winner, Adelaide Fringe. 'Something quite extraordinary' ***** (CreativeReviewsUK.blogspot.com). 'It is unmissable' ***** (TheatreGuide.com.au). ***** (StageWhispers.com.au).
