About It’s About Time (Scotland)
The Kids with Nae Hame is a theatre piece by It's About Time (Scotland), staged at studio as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show offers a first-hand account of growing up in care in the eighties, where songs from the American hit series Fame provide a lifeline for children navigating an ever-changing environment. It follows the kids through independent living and then looks at the lasting effects the care system has had on them, and what is currently being done to assist the care-experienced community. Running for 45 minutes and recommended for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A show rooted in lived experience that uses music as a genuine narrative device rather than decoration. The shift from period nostalgia to present-day reflection gives it real weight.
