cast size:4?
synopsis: Based on some of Glenys’ experiences, Chasing Rainbows is the story of Hayley – chosen as the face of inclusion – who is off to London to read her poem at a big conference. On her journey (on the 125 to Paddington), Hayley meets a pompous politician, loses her support worker and makes a new friend in the figure of Kit, a homeless street musician. A rollercoaster journey ensues as we see Hayley finding herself ‘included’ with somebody who is more excluded that she has ever been. As real life collides with theory and box ticking, what has Hayley learnt about choices and inclusion? |

| Busy London can be overwhelming for many people at times, so imagine being lost and with the added vulnerability of having a learning difficulty. Hayley, an endearing character played with skill by Catherine Morris, might not realise the danger she could be in, but her frantic social worker, Carol (Julia Wyndham) knows all too well what could be out there and starts a fretful search. Chasing Rainbows is a touching tale about being included – a posh word for “joining in” – and we see Hayley, who is in the capital to read her poem at an inclusion conference, trying to make friends with those around her. full review HERE |
