A world première by Esther Wilson, one of the writers of the award-winning Unprotected

Like every mother Gill (Lisa Parry) wants the best for her sons. Raise them well, keep them safe, clean and out of trouble. But for Michael (David Lyons) and Chris (Joe Shipman) the choices are few and far between. The only way to have the best is to be the best – join the army. As the brutal business of war unfolds, the boys become men their mother doesn’t recognise and maternal love is put to a grueling test. Glued to the news and linked from their sofas to the battlefield by satellite, the mothers join force as they try to find a political voice for their lost sons.

Ten Tiny Toes is an uncompromising and heartbreaking story of mothers and families and what happens when a distant war comes home.
