There’s Dad’s disgusting nettle soup and peculiar pancakes, horrible home haircuts, punishing press-ups and scum in the bathtub. BUT then there’s the joy of boxing lessons with Dad, fun family outings, jokes and pranks – and storytelling round the fire. Not to mention a home-made birthday cake like no other!
Oliver’s real-life childhood – rough, tough but happy – is taken from the page to the stage in this groundbreaking live poetry adventure.
Perfect for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Phil Earle and Anthony McGowan!
We Are Family: Six Kids and a Super-Dad is written and performed by multi-award-winning children’s author, Oliver Sykes.
