Daughterhood (NHB Modern Plays)

By Charley Miles

One sister stayed at home to care for Dad. The other set out to 'make a difference'. Reunited under their childhood roof, Pauline and Rachel unearth more than the ten years between them.

Charley Miles's play Daughterhood is a beautiful, ferocious drama about the bonds that tie us, and how we sometimes need to break them.

Daughterhood was premiered by Paines Plough in 2019.
