The show is about what happens when a medical misdiagnosis results in a kidnapping and an Irish family secret is revealed way too late?
Her Mothers mysterious illness meant they were not allowed any contact for a while, when she did ‘move in’ (her mothers’ words) it was not, for various reasons the smoothest of transitions... inevitably resulting in a kidnapping! All before the mystery illness was revealed. Spoiler: everyone is fine!
Its a funny light-hearted, layered and crafted look at a family secret that, when revealed, made Sharon think very differently about her own life and reconsider many of her previous decisions.
The show explores a universal thread that ties us all together; the influence of family and upbringing and the human need for connection and belonging and how they don’t always work harmoniously together. Its a stand-up show but with a storytelling style, looking at themes of family and how early bonds influence attachments throughout life and relationships.
