FIREBIRD

About the show

“You’ve got these twinkling eyes, all bright and dancey… They will love taking that from you” The fragile bond that develops between two teenage girls is tested in ways neither of them could have imagined when one of them is drawn into the dangerous orbit of an older man. Phil Davies’ “unforgettable” drama (The Stage) exposes the shocking reality of grooming and exploitation, laying bare the catastrophic failures of the systems designed to protect children in the UK. Marlie Haco’s revival combines Davies’ “remarkably potent” text (The Times) with movement and an original score to shine a light on an ongoing national scandal.
