Orla is six and on a secret mission to meet her dad. Her mum, Rex, is buckling under the mental and financial pressure of single parenthood. Her best friend Pia’s life is perfect - from the outside. When it all falls apart and their lives are thrown together, will they sink or swim? Can We Be Friends? explores motherhood, family and where we find our ‘village’ in a world that tells us there’s a right and wrong way to have a family. Developing new work is supported by The Foyle Foundation.
