Impact Theatre presents: Problem Child
Last November we brought you video of a rehearsed reading of George F. Walker’s “Risk Everything” by Impact Theatre, This weekend, as part of the UnFringed Performance festival, the theatre company are going to be performing another of Walker’s works, “Problem Child
The premise:
Set in a motel, two young parents face the turning point in their life: Their child is in care and they have yet to be regarded as competent parents, ‘Problem Child’ is the story of a young mother who has been declared unfit to care for her baby girl. Getting her daughter back legitimately requires the favourable judgment of a social worker, but if that does not seem to be the likely outcome, or she feels, that by taking the legal route, she will have no other choice but to turn to more desperate means. Her husband, being a reformed ex-con who is addicted to TV talk shows does not provide much help or support, and her only ally is the alcoholic, ne’er-do-well who cleans the bathrooms of their motel room.
