The expert cast tells the story of three girls who are adopted by a palaeontologist who entrusts them with two guardians. In this tale of found family, the sisters seek to find their passions and their place in a world that often doesn’t appreciate ambitious women.
As the 4-star London Theatre review said of the show, “This new adaptation by Kendall Feaver hits the sweet spot, thankfully retaining the 1930s setting and celebrating what a visionary Streatfeild was with her focus on young women shaping their own destinies, the importance of technique and hard graft, and the gift of found families.”
