Glue by Louise Wallwein 


From the wreckage of my boat, I found other people also shipwrecked. I tried to build a life. Sometimes I would borrow spare parts from these people. Sometimes sticking other people s memories to my own."


Louise Wallwein's one woman drama tells the true story of her first two meetings with her birth mother, three decades after having been put up for adoption. Louise grew up in care from the age of nine and shows both her fierce independence and emotional vulnerability alongside each other. Born, transferred, placed, discharged returned...


"At pivotal moments in Louise Wallwein s multi-layered drama, a drama about abandonment, about the search for family and about both the strengths and weaknesses of the self, the dialogue is deliberately stalled to drive home the point that it s more than just a personal story.

It s a one woman show and through the hour the audience navigates, a mother forced to offer her child to care, the trauma of adoption, the difficulties of constructing one s personality when the only anchor is being abandoned, the search for family, real family, the birth family." -- The Monthly
