Born in a snowstorm in Stockholm on the stroke of midnight, this is a poet’s tale of what happened next and for a long time after that. Lyrical, captivating, strange and familiar this is the story of a child and a woman curious to know where she fits. Welcome to Growing Up An Alien, the intricate world of poet performer Aoife Mannix.

Please stay after the ‘scratch’ to join the discussion with Aoife and the production team.
