Next Stage Theatre Company

Lucy Baine's bright and sunny nature seems at odds with the rest of her family: Father Walt's disillusioned, Mother Joy's depressed and brother Gary's dysfunctional. To ease her loneliness Lucy has invented an imaginary friend called Zara - loyal, supportive and fun. But when Zara becomes real and moves in to live with Lucy, bringing her invisible family with her, Lucy discovers Zara is not the answer to her prayers and is embroiling Lucy in a world which becomes increasingly sinister and threatening. Suddenly "ordinary" old Mum, Dad and Gary don't seem nearly so bad, but can they rescue her in time?

A witty and thought-provoking play by Next Stage's patron Sir Alan Ayckbourn Invisible Friends will appeal to young and old alike. Performed by two outstanding casts from Next Stage Youth, don't miss this great show in Next Stage Youth's 20th birthday year.
