Catch Me Who Can is a play that asks questions about freedom. It tells the story of Hattie, a teenage girl trying to find her freedom by running away from school and home. Her search, or her desire for escape has a profound influence on her teacher Mr. Halliwell, played by Toby Jones, whose rather cosy life is unsettled by her ‘flight’.
Charlotte said:
‘My mum wrote Catch Me Who Can in response to me running away from home for 2 days and nights when I was 14, in 1978 and it imagines my last day ‘on the lam’. My mum never really liked school, and she always understood why I hated it – to have to go to the same place every day for years and years whether you like it or not!!! She liked young people, she listened to them, she got their voices right because she respected them and they made her laugh. Like all my mum’s work, the play’s depth and profundity are achieved through economy and humour, pockets of heartbreak and dialogue that falls easily out of the actors’ mouths.'
