JUST BE NORMAL is the moving true story of two sisters, Sophie and Emma, as they navigate Autism in a world that refuses to understand them.
Written off as the problem child, Emma seeks to understand her Autism better as she comes to terms with the fact that even those closest to her are poorly equipped to help her on her journey. Meanwhile, Sophie silently battles with her own internal struggles, whilst trying desperately to hold her family together.
This play marks Sophie Jackson’s writing debut, as she acts alongside her sister Emma in this deeply personal story inspired by their own lives.
