Attachment

About the show

What does it take to become a family?

Mat knows what you think about her. About the way she looks. The way she acts. The way she handed her son to a stranger… and didn’t even cry.

But there’s a lot you don’t know about Mat. And there’s a lot she doesn’t know about herself. So when she gets into a car with a man she’s never met before and unlocks a new kind of life, no one could be more surprised than she is about where her story goes next.

Attachment is a powerful new play by Julia Cranney – a heartfelt Liverpool drama about parenthood, hope and adoption, and the ways that relationships can grow. Developed alongside adoptive families from Merseyside, Attachment is often funny, sometimes poignant and always honest. It’s one woman’s tender, bittersweet story about embracing the fragility of love.
