Project Detail

Wickham Road

Synopsis

All families have crazy times, And the the MacDowells are no exception.

Bobby MacDowell, the youngest of three, looks back on the last two weeks of normality in his childhood - the last two weeks before his mum became ill. Trouble is, his sister seems to be constantly shagging yet another new boyfriend, and his brother seems to have some hair-brained scheme to reveal the identity of a newspaper editor. And not one of the kids has time to listen to their mum.

Wicham Road is a humourous and heart-warming story of a family: a fast paced and quick-witted slice of life in which the MacDowells, have lived in a kind of limbo for the past ten years, are finally forced to face the future.
