Kate is daddy's little girl. He feeds her, bathes her, and keeps her safe from the obstacle course of 'normal' life. But, when daddy gets sick, and a handsome boy arrives to pick up the slack, Kate sees an opportunity to flee the tower. She just needs to snare the prince before her mother does.

Winner of the Embassy Trust Prize for Playwriting, Katydid is a simultaneously funny and tragic look into the life of a nineteen year old woman living with Cerebral Palsy and a dysfunctional family unit.

“You’ve got to take me away, Benjamin...
Steal me from the tower, ravish me. I’ll wear white.”

From Lucy O'Brien, writer of 2009's Postal - nominated for best new Playwright of the Year at the Chapman Tripp Awards.

Katydid contains nudity.
