CARE

It’s getting dark but we’re strong and brave and I’m walking… A single mum, two feuding pre-teens, and their gran. When Grandmother takes a fall, she is hastily moved to a care home she doesn’t want to be in, surrounded by other elderly people longing for comfort and missing home. But as time passes she comes to see what really matters in life, and between loss and loneliness, we glimpse the unexpected joy in life’s everyday moments. Following the hugely popular Inequalities trilogy, Alexander Zeldin (LOVE, The Confessions, The Other Place) writes and directs a life-affirming play about the elusive connection between loss and rebirth. This edition was published to coincide with the Young Vic production in May 2026.
