The Bread & Roses Theatre Company presents
Kid Sister by Owen Lloyd Richards
directed by Adam Laboda
Seventeen years ago, everything changed. Three-year-old Shell was put into foster care, and her six-month-old sister Natalie was adopted. They’ve not seen each other since. So, Shell waited…
Any day now, Natalie turns 18 and is no longer under the guardianship of her adoptive parents. They can finally be together. At least, that’s what Shell believes. But nothing’s that simple in social services.
When faced with the latest roadblock, Shell decides to take matters into her own hands. But in the search for her sister, does she risk losing the family she’s found along the way?
Kid Sister is an exploration of the complications and joys of the social care sector in Wales.
Kid Sister is a Bread & Roses Playwriting Award Winner 2024.

OUR HISTORY
The Bread & Roses is an award-winning free house right in the heart of Clapham. Owned by The Battersea and Wandsworth Trade Union Council (BWTUC) and run by the Workers Beer Company, part of BWTUC Trading, it prides itself as a pub with a social consciousness.
The Bread & Roses is named in recognition of the struggle of workers around the globe for a better quality of life. The name is taken from a song written during a strike of women textile workers in Lawrence Massachusetts, USA in 1912. 27.000 women went out onto the streets and marched for eleven weeks to improve their working conditions. Their banners called for bread and roses. A poet among them, James Oppenheim, wrote the lyrics to what became the trademark song for women trade unionists around the world. It is still sung by delegates to conclude the ICTU Women's Conference.
