Sam Potter

Hanna (NHB Modern Plays) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

A funny, heartfelt and compelling new play that asks what family means in a modern society, delicately weaving in questions of racial identity, economic privilege, and the lottery of birth.

Being a young mum is supposed to be hard - but for Hanna, the only thing she's ever been brilliant at is raising her beloved daughter Ellie.

Until a DNA test reveals staggering news: Ellie is not Hanna's child. And now her 'real' parents want to meet.

How can an ancient mix-up in an overstretched maternity ward be explained to a three-year-old? Is Hanna supposed to let these strangers into her daughter's life? Forced to question what being a parent really means, Hanna makes a drastic decision that will change all their lives.

Produced by Papatango Theatre Company, Hanna premiered at the Arcola Theatre, London, in January 2018, before embarking on a UK tour.
