Max is eighteen, autistic and spiralling into outbursts that his parents, Harry and Miranda, can no longer manage. When a job offer poses a new beginning in America, it feels like a fresh start – until they realise the world they’re entering views Max as an epidemic to be cured. Max's younger brother, Daniel, is caught amongst these rising concerns. As the plot unfolds, Daniel’s own sensory world begins to fracture and he must face a terrifying question: is he more like Max than he knows?

Why see this show?

A new play that takes the politics of neurodiversity seriously without losing sight of the family at its heart. Told from multiple perspectives, it asks uncomfortable questions about who gets to define what needs to be cured.
