This sibling jumps through a timeline of growing up with a brother who has severe learning disabilities. Big Little Sister is a journey through surrealist storytelling, sketches and monologues, accompanied by the ethereal voice of her brother’s communication aid. But what happens when you’re made to grow up too quickly? What happens when these memories aren’t all happy? When you are forced to address the future??Holly Gifford’s debut play is a tribute to all glass children. This is a story of shared madness, lack of control and abundant love.

Age Guidance: 12+
