Bøker av Katie Redford

You didn‿t come for a weekend in Scarborough to watch Homes Under The Hammer. After all those extra shifts, all Lorna wants is a night out on the town and time to reconnect with her daughter. All 16-year-old Mila wants is for the world to stop burning. And for someone to take down that ‿Beach Body Ready‿ poster. Please. As mum and daughter check into their ‿premium‿ room where they can almost see the sea, they quickly discover that their favourite seaside town, which was once their annual sunny escape, could really use some attention ‿ just like their relationship. Katie Redford's Wish You Weren't Here is a hilarious and heart-warming exploration of family relationships, the agony of growing up, and how to find your way in the world when you can‿t help thinking you‿re just not good enough. This edition was published to coincide with Theatre Centre's UK tour in January 2024.

Gavi wants to inspire his community. Which is tricky when everyone wants to just stay at home and watch Bake Off. But, determined to succeed, he starts hosting amateur motivational meetings from his garage.With the help of daily mantras, goal-setting and repeatedly listening to Spandau Ballet, he believes he can change lives for the better. However, when the only attendees are his two colleagues from the Co-op - bickering mother and daughter Dawn and Jen - it's not quite the enlightening experience they were all hoping for.Katie Redford's play Tapped is a witty and sensitive portrayal of managing mental health within a family, highlighting the barriers we put up in order to put on a brave face.
