My Child

A father finds himself being phased out of his son’s life. Denied access to his only child, he goes to extraordinary lengths to hold onto him.

My Child throws us into a violent world where good intentions count for very little, and offers an incisive, honest look at what it means to be a good parent.

This is Mike Bartlett’s first play and will be directed by Sacha Wares in her debut as Associate Director of the Royal Court. Her previous work includes generations, Guantanamo and trade.
