When The Time Comes

2 women, each facing the death of a parent, discover a secret that binds them together. This is a story of their journey to find out who their parents really were and the forbidden love they never forgot. How does this change who they are today?
As they search, they see their parent’s pain in their own lives – past & present, how history has repeated without them knowing why. And the hopes their parents had for them and for the grandchildren, are very much alive.
This is a script-in-hand devised performance created and performed by Simone Watson-Brown, Bushra Baig and Helen Stanley
What People Are Saying …
“Simone has a unique ability of assessing the qualities of an individual and then creating situations that enable them to step outside their comfort zone. For example under the direction of Simone I was cast for the first time ever in a production to play the lead role, this was a huge step for me as an Actor and I honestly didn't know if I was going to be able to take on the huge demands of the lead character. Thankfully I had a Director who believed in me and ensured that I received the necessary guidance and support to take on this role. I would definitely recommend working with Simone as an actor because I know at the end of the project I will walk away with a deeper insight into my craft and a greater level of confidence in myself.”
