Getting to the Foot of the Mountain

by Lisa Evans

Overview

When Danielle was a child, three women loomed large in her life: her gritty, responsible mother, her wild-child Aunt, and their best friend. Now a young woman herself and facing the break-up of another relationship, Danielle takes stock of her childhood years - of an absent dad; of her fascination with a neighbourhood "bad boy" - and uncovers a story of everyday heroism and the strange tricks that memory can play.

A warm and witty play, Getting to the Foot of the Mountain premiered at the Birmingham Rep in May 2002.
