How can you grieve for the loss of your daughter when you’re caught up in the trial of the killer? And what happens when the accused is... her?
Threat Of A Storm is the debut play of Kenya Sterling, developed at Soho Writer’s Lab and now supported by Test Match at CPT for its first R&D. This piece is an exploration of motherhood, grief, loss, expectation, reconnection, becoming. Life is messy, contradictory, and so is being a mum. But when the personal becomes public, the influence of outside forces is hard to resist. When all the evidence comes to light, can the relationship between mother and child be preserved? Or will the final verdict bury them both?
"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
