The hidden lives of young carers from across Salford will be the focus of a new play at The Lowry on 22 November.
Who Cares? highlights the reality facing some young people who—often under the radar of social services, their schoolteachers and friends—provide care to family members with a physical disability, an illness, a mental health issue or a drug or alcohol dependency.
The play, which was commissioned by The Lowry in partnership with Salford Young Carers Service, is the culmination of more than a year’s research and interviews with young people by verbatim theatre specialists Lung.
