Molly cooks. Molly does the dishes. Molly gets her little brother Joe ready for school. Molly is only twelve, but she doesn’t feel much like a kid any more.
Now her mum is feeling better, maybe things will get back to normal. Maybe Molly can learn to be a kid again.
A touching and funny story of family, friends and fitting in, Sarah McDonald-Hughes’ play How To Be A Kid is ideal for seven- to eleven-year-olds to watch, read and perform. It was first produced in 2017 by Paines Plough in their pop-up theatre, Roundabout, in a co-production with Theatr Clywd and the Orange Tree Theatre.
How To Be A Kid was named Best Play for Young Audiences at the 2018 Writers’ Guild Awards.
