| Summary: | 'Do you find it hard? Getting close? I want to get close but I can't stop blowing things apart. Vexing people like a bomb.' Janie's a force of nature, like some considerable disaster zone. It's baking hot, her mouth is peeling away and now she's got horns. Been on her head for yonks apparently, growing-- Roper can feel his grandson Linden pulling away from him, pushing him away-- like his eyes are mini pebbles all suddenly. Like everyone, Josefa needs a bit of a miracle to happen. One summer's night, with the help of a paddling pool, a baby dragon and a bottle of gin, it does. But how long can anything perfect last? Funny, open-hearted, surprising and strange, The Cracks in My Skin is a new kind of love story-- a new kind of family. It opened at The Studio at Manchester Royal Exchange, in February 2008.
