How to Be Brave

Katie has gone from a little girl who used to climb trees, ride bikes and go on adventures to an adult who worries about everything. But now Katie is a mum, she must be brave in a whole new way.

Determined that her young daughter will never lose the powerful, fierce magic she arrived into the world with, Katie sets off on a mission with the help of a stolen BMX, a policewoman with bad hair and a pigeon in a bag as she rides around Newport to find what she’s really made of.

By listening to the unheard voices of the city, she begins to discover what the women who have gone before can teach her about how to be brave.

Siân Owen’s one-woman play is about what we are made of, what we leave behind, and learning to be brave when your world is falling apart.
