So many emotions at #laughingboy Jermyn Street Theatre this evening. What an amazing tribute to Connor Sparrowhawk and to Prof Ryan. The genius of Stephen Unwin - writing & directing a play that can portray the hell of how a family lives with #epilepsy (oh, & the cast are phenomenal) π

'The actors were crying at the end. And you knew their tears were just as real as ours. But so were the laughs.'
A personal account of #LaughingBoy and some background to why it's so important.
I saw #LaughingBoy today. Harrowing & heartbreaking blended with an abundance of love & strength of a family. The layers of mother blame vibrated right through me. The productions excellence lay in the raw & real portrayal by very talented actors.

I am delivering trauma training today and all I can think about is #LaughingBoy .
Family trauma is real, it is visceral, it is painful, it can go unrecognised by those of us who experience it.
Prof Ryan and Stephen Unwin place a spotlight on it in the play.
The #JusticeForLB #quilt is a thing of rare beauty indeed ( the lady was surprised when I said I'd come for the #quilt not the book signing, but I stayed for that too!) #LaughingBoy St James's Church, Piccadilly Waterstones Jermyn Street Theatre Chris van Tulleken π³οΈβπ
