Big Little Sister

The show cuts through the clichés of “inspirational” disability-adjacent sibling narratives.

Through surrealist storytelling, monologue, and multimedia – including dialogue voiced by Holly’s brother’s communication aid.

Inspired by the term “glass children” used to describe the ‘invisible’ siblings who grow up in the background of siblings with additional needs, Big Little Sister asks: what happens when the glass finally cracks?

Born from Holly’s lived experience, Big Little Sister challenges the people and systems who benefit from sanitising or silencing the real stories around disability and care. It is a tribute- to growing up alongside someone profoundly different, and to the defiant joy stitched through the seams of grief, guilt, and fierce love.
