Sparks by Simon Longman
It’s no surprise that it’s raining in the Midlands.
But the familiar woman on the doorstep holding a fish is!
Sarah hasn’t seen her sister Jess for twelve years, but now she’s here with a rucksack on her back and an apology.
Over the course of one night the bonds of family are tested as they attempt to reconnect, share wild stories and search for forgiveness.
Upper Hand Theatre return to The Jack Studio with Sparks by Simon Longman, an off-beat story of sisterhood and finding your place in the world.
