Sitting Pretty

Kate is about to get married, but before she does she wants to spend a last weekend with her sister, Nicki. There's a lot to do, Kate has to clear her junk out of the loft, and Nicki has to be fitted for her bridesmaid dress. But Nicki is having second thoughts. She is a wheelchair user and doesn't relish the idea of being on show on Kate's special day.

An Arc Theatre play by Clifford Oliver

"Explores in an imaginative & sensitive way, but with humour, how Nicki, her sister & her parents cope with disability..... A very welcome addition to the reading and performing repertoire for secondary schools."
