Jade Byrne is 29 years old, she's been an actress for 9 years and a type 1 diabetic for 29 years. She says "I've had over 70,000 pricks… of the medical kind.
This is my chance to set the record straight about Type 1 diabetics like me. Despite what people say, I'm not bankrupting the NHS. And I can eat cake – a whole bloody cake – if I want to."
This urgent, funny new show blends warmly engaging storytelling with poetry and an original soundscape. It tells a surprisingly moving and uplifting story about families and learning to care for each other better.
Suitable for ages 12+
