"I never saw any of that before. All that the birds do… I see it now. Will they be gone too?"
A single mum, two feuding pre-teens, and their gran. When Grandmother takes a fall, she is hastily moved to a care home she doesn’t want to be in, surrounded by other elderly people longing for comfort and missing home. But as time passes, she comes to see what really matters in life and between loss and loneliness, we glimpse the unexpected joy in life’s everyday moments.
Following the hugely popular Inequalities trilogy, Alexander Zeldin (LOVE, The Confessions, The Other Place) makes his Young Vic debut and eagerly anticipated return to London.
A Young Vic and A Zeldin Company co-production
The Development of CARE was supported by the Polonsky Foundation, and the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
