Hard-hitting play is writer's first full-length work

A WRITER’S first full length play telling the story of an intense but abusive relationship is coming to South Yorkshire next month.

You Forgot the Mince by Francesca Joy will appear at The Civic in Barnsley on October 1 and Doncaster’s Cast Theatre on October 12.

The play will also be performed at HMP Doncaster on November 1.

You Forgot the Mince is drawn from personal accounts and interviews with victims and perpetrators of abuse.

Playwright Francesca Joy said: “This is my first full-length play and I feel a million different things at once. It’s a bit like having my own little pot of magic.

“You Forgot the Mince is vested in truth, and with truth there is the opportunity for change. If it changes even one person’s life for the better then the play will have been a success for me.”

You Forgot the Mince is supported by Arts Council England.

Tickets are £10 (£8 concessions) at The Civic and £10.50 (£8.50 concessions) at Cast.
