Nanny: Friendship, Ambition & Comedy in Modern Caregiving

Directed by comedian Sara Pascoe, "Nanny" is a new radio play exploring the intersection of reality and ambition through the lens of female friendship and modern caregiving. The narrative centers on Amy and Leanne, actor-nannies juggling demanding jobs, financial instability, and their own creative aspirations over a six-week period at a toddler group.

This episodic play, written by actors Alana Ramsey and Lizzie Stables with Jenny Rainsford, questions the balance between nurturing other people's children and sustaining personal ambitions. As pressures from work, relationships, and the potential for motherhood mount, the partnership between Amy and Leanne faces significant challenges.

The production features original songs by Matthew Floyd Jones, known for his work on the West End musical "Kathy & Stella Solve a Murder!". "Nanny" is presented as a funny, sharp, and deeply relatable love letter to big dreams and messy friendships, celebrating the invisible work that holds everything together.
