Description
A sensitive and powerful play that explores the struggles of living under a system stacked against you. Tamsin's life is marked by the relentless demands of her job, as she packs boxes in a warehouse to meet an ever-increasing target. Her brother Dean's health issues add another layer of complexity, as their benefits are threatened when he is declared fit for work. The play raises important questions about the value of our labour and the support we need to live with dignity. As Tamsin navigates the bureaucratic maze, she must fight to get the help her brother and she so desperately require. With its eloquence, quiet craft, and dignity, Wish List is a thought-provoking drama that will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the weight of an unforgiving system. Written by Katherine Soper, this play won the 2015 Bruntwood Prize for Playwriting and premiered at the Royal Exchange Theatre in September 2016.
