Shining a spotlight on the realities of family law via the stage.
In this episode we’re joined by Stephen Wildblood KC, James Evans from OurFamilyWizard, Jacob Crossley from Support Through Court, and Carlie Norris from Circle Mediation as they talk through the innovative production Daisy Through The Looking Glass - a play which aims to hold a mirror up to the family law system and the real impacts it can make on families itself.
Based on real legal experiences and to be performed at the Royal Courts of Justice, the play explores one family's progress through the family court system in reverse chronological order - but how close to real life experiences does the play align? And what is the importance of highlighting the challenges of the family court system through a creative medium?
