Description
Alan Ayckbourn's play Invisible Friends is a thought-provoking tale about a teenager named Lucy. Her family is preoccupied with their own interests, leaving her feeling overlooked and unheard. To cope, Lucy revives an old childhood fantasy friend, Zara, who brings an idealized version of her family to life. As the story unfolds, Lucy's dream family turns out to be a nightmare, revealing a cautionary message about what happens when we get exactly what we want. This play is suitable for children aged seven upwards, but its themes also offer valuable insights for parents about listening to their kids. A poignant exploration of childhood desires and the complexities of family relationships, Invisible Friends is a story that will resonate with a broad range of readers.
