A thought-provoking new play visits Hanger Farm Arts Centre in Totton tomorrow.

Based on a true story, this highly acclaimed new theatre piece explores an unlikely friendship between a teenage boy who is into free running (Parkour) and a middle-aged woman who has early onset Parkinson’s. They bond through a common ground – the desire to move.

Sue Wylie has performed in many national theatre and TV productions and this inspiring project marks a new phase in her career.

Sue explains: "Five years ago shortly after my 50th birthday I was diagnosed with Parkinson's. After the initial shock I knew I wanted to write about it. I was teaching drama at the time and discovered that a bright but rebellious 16-year-old student in my tutor group was free running on the school roof. I was intrigued by the risks he took in his addiction to this extreme sport. How interesting to contrast that with a middle-aged woman whose world of movement is slowly being eroded. What if their paths should accidentally cross and a friendship form? I knew there was a story in there and so Kinetics was born."

The play is personal, poignant and will make you laugh out loud. Sue Wylie’s script reminds us of the way we overcome our fears and struggles by finding humour even in the darkest times.
