There will be truths, there will be dares, there will be presents and there will be cake! You are invited to celebrate Katie's 12th birthday as she explores what it's like to be 12 years old and moving from primary to secondary school.
Solo performer Mary-Frances Doherty explores notions of childhood on the approach of adolescence, looking at the trials and tribulations of what children go through as they move up from their primary school world - exams, results, new school, new friends, and thoughts for the future.
