Beyond Caring Play

Beyond Caring is a powerful new play by Christina Castling that takes a frank, humorous and heartbreaking look at life behind the doors of a care home.

It’s been a privilege to represent carers & speak their truth. This play has really touched people, it’s been a wonderful job with beautiful words & inspiring creatives. Lush to play both my childhood home & my old youth theatre. Sharing a stage with these two Dames was a dream��

And just like that, the Beyond Caring tour has drawn to a close. We've worked with 7 theatres, 14 community venues and 2 education settings to put on 25 performances, and the show has been seen by nearly 1500 people! Watch this space for what's next...

"After a lifetime of domestic familiarity, the residents find themselves permanently displaced... Are we too willing, the play asks, to farm out our elderly relatives to a place that is home in name only?"

Out of area this eve to watch @Beyond_Caring in Trindon Grange Community hall. A beautifully crafted, tender, thought provoking play about life for staff and residents in a care home by @ChristinaCastli . Not shocking or scandalous but based on real stories which pull on every..
