About the Show

A slice-of-life play about a mother & a daughter in the wake of their husband/father's death.

Helen is forty and Becca is fifteen when they lose their husband/father - now it's just the two of them.

'Helen' follows Helen & Becca's relationship over the next forty years - looking at what binds them together and the different ways they damage one another.

Maureen Lennon's play was shortlisted for the Theatre 503 International Playwriting Prize.
