About

A play about families… and camping!

​

A heartfelt, funny, and painfully honest journey through the tangled web of family life, 'In Tents' spans two decades of memories, missteps, and moments of connection. Set against the backdrop of a changing Britain, it follows Charlotte and Paul as they grow up — from childhood squabbles to the bruises of young adulthood — alongside parents who are trying, and often failing, to understand them.

​

Through camping disasters, kitchen table arguments, and tearful confessions, 'In Tents' explores the gap between generations and the courage it takes to be vulnerable. Seamlessly shifting through time, this production blends humor, music, and deeply resonant drama into an unforgettable theatrical experience.

​

First premiered at Theatre on the Steps, Bridgnorth.
