Attachment

Attachment Synopsis

I don't like kids. Even when I was a kid
I didn't like kids.

Mat's a Nan kid. An only child. A loner. So when she meets James and his six-year-old Grace, suddenly her well organised, solo life is blown wide open.

Then they decide to add a baby. But that's a lot easier said than done. And Mat finds herself in the middle of an
adoption process that forces her to confront her own childhood head on.

She doesn't understand how she got here. How she raced out of the door this morning and did what she had
to do. Because it's unthinkable.

Attachment is one woman's tender, bittersweet story about embracing the fragility of love.

This edition was published to coincide with the Liverpool Everyman & Playhouse production in June 2026.
