“When you see a scar you know someone’s had pain, but if you can’t see it how would you know?”
In a school for excluded pupils in Hackney, Bailey waits for a decision that could change her life, whilst her headteacher prepares to leave it all behind.
Full of humour and heart, Marika Mckennell’s timely new play gives voice to those who have fallen through the cracks in mainstream education.
Marika Mckennell is a Camden Roundhouse Resident Artist and a graduate of The North Wall’s ArtsLab programme. She is spoken word artist, playwright and performer.
