#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
It can be hard to prepare for the moment when we start parenting our parents. The changing dynamic can be difficult for both parent and child. For most, this comes later in life, but for some, this can come much earlier than expected. Jean Kittson and Matt Okine explore these changes in their own poignant and delightfully funny ways.
