Second Home (NHB Modern Plays)

By Charlotte Chimuanya

Second Home by Charlotte Chimuanya explores the experiences of growing up mixed-race in twenty-first century Ireland. Naomi is trying to mend her broken heart. But will tackling grief and racism in a place she calls home prove to be the final betrayal?

Second Home was first staged at VAULT Festival, London, in 2020, and was selected for publication in Plays from VAULT 5, an anthology of five of the best plays from the festival, published by Nick Hern Books.
