Synopsis

A father. A daughter. Innocence betrayed. London in the 1950s. A 'normal' family. A child who should have been happy and carefree. In ME I AM author, playwright and theatre director Heather Eyles champions the child she was in a life fractured by sexual abuse. She vividly conjures up the resilient spirit and eager curiosity that survived despite her father's betrayal of her innocence. From Children's Favourites on the wireless and Dairylea Triangles on the tea table to confusing compulsions and rituals before bedtime, this is an absorbing and poignant story of a young girl's search for her own identity in a world of deep, secret shadows, but also some bright lights.
