Hanna

Jennifer Ward-Lealand directs Cassandra Woodhouse in this acclaimed one woman play by Sam Potter.

Being a young mum is supposed to be hard, but for Hanna, raising her beloved daughter, Ellie is the only thing she’s ever been brilliant at. That’s until a DNA test reveals the staggering news that Ellie is not Hanna’s child and her ‘real’ parents want to meet her.

Is Hanna obliged to let these strangers into her daughter’s life? And how do you explain a mix-up in an overstretched maternity ward to a three-year-old?

This funny, heartfelt and compelling play asks: what does “family” actually mean in today’s society?
