Squidge

White Noise Theatre present an outrageous, dark comedy about the shortfalls of our education system and finding love in darkness – the debut play of award-winning screenwriter and actress, Tiggy Bayley.

Daisy Wright is in her early twenties, broke, furious and freshly bereaved. Taking a stopgap job as a one-to-one support assistant in an inner-city primary school, she's assigned to Paddy Connors: a sharp, chaotic Irish Traveller boy with a talent for disruption and a grief he can't name. As Daisy ricochets between the staffroom, the toilets and her sofa, an unlikely friendship begins to crack open her numbness. Brilliantly funny and quietly devastating, Tiggy Bayley's play holds a mirror to poverty, education and loss - and asks what it means to choose love anyway.
