This is My Family - Tim Firth

Imagine you're a spirited 13-year-old and you've won - actually won - a magazine competition to describe your family. The prize is a dream holiday for the lot of you, anywhere in the world. Except Nicky's family isn't the blissfully happy bunch she's described. More like the contestants in a gladiatorial arena, in fact. Where on earth can she take them that might make her wishful thinking a reality? Winner of the 2013 UK Theatre Award for Best Musical, this hilarious musical comedy, which moves seamlessly between speech and song, is a celebration of the lifelong adventure that is family love.
