Kailey
Kerry Wright
Who cares for you when your parent is in prison?
Kailey was a bold comedy-drama about an 18-year-old navigating life alone while her mum’s in prison. A funny, and unflinching look at society’s forgotten youth.
Kailey’s mum’s been sent to prison, and she needs to grow up – fast. She’s just turned eighteen; first job, her own place, big nights out. This might just be freedom after all. But when you’re young and your parent is taken away, who do you turn to when things get a little too messy?
Inspired by writer Kerry Wright’s own lived experience, Kailey was a bold new play that shone a light on society’s forgotten young people. Funny and searingly honest, Kailey didn’t ask for sympathy; it demanded you look closer.
