WiLd! The Carriageworks, Leeds
The latest play by leading children’s company Tutti Frutti is intended to raise public awareness about the reality of ADHD. Written with scientific advice, WiLd! follows the story of a 10-year-old boy called Billy.
Labelled a troublemaker at school, his disorder has led to the loss of childhood friends and the disintegration of his parents’ marriage. His resultant sense of isolation from the world is communicated though the means of a one-man show, with Rhys Warrington simply supported by musician Molly Lopresti.
