Based on the personal experience of writer Jane Upton, Finding Nana is a one-woman show about the universal, unconditional love between a granddaughter and her nana.
Jane said: “This play has a piece of my heart in it.
“It’s a tale of love and loss and what it means to live, I think, and the crippling fear of forgetting.
“It’s a tribute to that specific and amazing relationship you can only really share with a beloved grandparent.

The show starts at 7.30pm.
