Winnie's no ordinary nun. She swears, she smokes, she drinks Guinness, and she loves a sing-song with Stephen. But soon everything's going to change.
Stephen's lost his way. Finding solace in music, he knows he must start again… if only he knew how.
Kayleigh is a teenager, unsure of herself. But when unexpected circumstances lead her to Winnie and Stephen, she starts to find her voice.
Surprising and poignant, Folk is a hilarious and not-so-holy story of hope, coming together and finding your feet when your world is turned upside down. It was co-produced in 2016 by Birmingham Repertory Theatre, Hull Truck Theatre and Watford Palace Theatre.

'As warm as an electric blanket on a nippy night… a play of empathy, generosity and hope. Poignant but not sentimental, in its own delicate, minor key way, it's a celebration of the different forms that love can take'
