Welcome (the musical)
(Copyright 2024)
"Come, let me dance with you,
Let me pull you to the floor,
I'm an independent dog, you see,
I don't come if you don't call..."
Winter, 1999. Kat loves An and An loves Kat. So much. Their unbreakable bond has brought them to Welcome, a rehab centre on the south coast of England.
When Jack arrives from prison, Kat is thrown into a new century of love, despair and hope.
An is anorexia. Jack is dangerous. Kat is torn. Life is a cluster of the choices we make. When tragedy strikes and it comes to the most important decision of her life, will Kat make the right one?
Adapted from Nina's book, Welcome (the musical) is in development. It is an unconventional love story, reminding us how far our will power can stretch, to destroy and overcome.
