Summary:

Maureen Lennon's play Helen is a drama for two actors about love, grief and mother-daughter relationships. It was shortlisted for the 2020 Theatre503 International Playwriting Award, and was first produced at Theatre503, London, on 9 May 2023, in a co-production with Terrain, a company dedicated to promoting Northern artists. The play's action unfolds through snapshots of a mother-daughter relationship over a period of forty years. Helen is forty when she loses her husband. Her daughter Becca is fifteen when her dad dies. Now it's just the two of them... what do they do next? The premiere production was directed by Tom Bellerby, with set and costume design by Alice Hallifax and lighting design by Joseph Ed Thomas. It was performed by Jo Mousley and Chloe Wade.
