“And my body aches. And I’ve broken everything and I can’t stop and it’s stopping me doing anything else and I desperately want to but I…" 

They’re trying. Despite everything. They’re really trying. They almost work together, beautifully, and the almost is intoxicating.

Award-winning writer Charlotte Josephine’s new play Pops follows a father and daughter caught in a vicious cycle of addiction.  A sweaty and searching attempt to honestly connect, to forgive the unforgivable, and love fiercely through a hopeless situation. Pops asks some difficult questions about mental health, what’s inherited and who is responsible, particularly in this harsh political climate.
