“That is why the good lord made this earth for us. T’explore. I don’t think it’s right for human beings t’stay in one place their whole life… not good for their body and mind.”
Bobby, Malcolm and Ange. Four walls, three people, the basic recipe for family life.
Down the road in Oil Street there are no walls, just wheels, and a fierce sense of belonging that has nothing to do with place.
Two ways of life: yards apart and yet worlds apart.
But when Bobby starts skipping school to hang out with Danny, their friendship forces both families to look beyond the walls that divide them.
Liverpool writer Chloe Moss is one of the cities most exciting new voices. Her recent plays have included How Love is Spelt at the Bush and Christmas is Miles Away at the Royal Exchange. The Way Home is her own professional homecoming based on her intensive research within the Irish Travelling Community.
The thrill of Moss's writing remains in her dialogue, which crackles with authenticity
