"Upton's a playful writer who likes nothing better than to upset expectations." Judy Upton's new play premiered at the Royal Court in August 2001 directed by Max Stafford-Clark



Thirty five and on the slide, Suzanne does a runner back home to Brighton in search of a new start. But home is a place where big breaks are scarce. And kids grow up - fast. So how do you find what you want in a place like this? And who do you find it with?

From the award-winning author of Ashes and Sand, Sliding with Suzanne is the powerful and bitterly humorous story of a single foster mum who tries to turn her life around.
