The world première production of Maeve Binchy’s Minding Frankie, adapted for the stage, is at The Lowry in Salford from June 19 to 23.
A family love story full of Binchy’s wisdom, warmth, and humour, it stars Steve Blount and Clare Barrett.
Noel Lynch is struggling with an alcohol addiction when he gets a call from Stella, a girlfriend with whom he shared a drunken weekend. Stella is having Noel’s child; she is also dying from cancer. Noel must raise their daughter, Frankie. Social worker Moira Tierney has other ideas.
