  This is a spiky and sparky new play about a clash between two Liverpool families, one settled and suburban, the other branded as 'gypsies'. Bobby, Paul and Ange - three people, four walls: this is the basic recipe for family life. Down the road in Oil Street, Liverpool, there are no walls, just wheels, and a fierce sense of belonging that has nothing to do with place. There are two families, two ways of life: yards apart, yet worlds between. But when Bobby starts skipping school to hang out with Danny, their friendship forces both families to look beyond the walls that divide them. 'That is why the good lord made this earth for us. T'explore. I don't think it's right for human beings t'stay in one place their whole life...not good for their body and mind.' Chloe Moss is one of Liverpool's most exciting new voices. Based on research within the Irish travelling community, The Way Home is her own professional homecoming, with a world premiere at the popular Everyman Theatre.
