Summary
Sometimes sowing the seeds of change means getting your hands dirty.
Climate activist Shirley Watts has dedicated her entire life to protecting the planet for future generations. But constantly fighting for Mother Earth has taken its toll over time, leaving her in a precarious relationship with her adult daughter, Lela.
When Shirley’s latest climate stunt lands her in serious legal jeopardy, Lela reluctantly lets Shirley stay with her and her boyfriend while awaiting her upcoming trial. As the strain on their relationship reaches fever pitch, Lela must dig deep to determine if she has the emotional fortitude to let her mother back into her life, and whether or not she can trust her with a life-changing secret.
Rooted in the power of acceptance and forgiveness, Weeds (written by Amanda Wilkin) is a heartfelt family drama about finding the strength to stand up for what you believe in, and the courage to see it through.
Playwright Amanda Wilkin was awarded a commission through the Audible Emerging Playwrights Fund, an initiative dedicated to developing innovative original plays driven by language and voice. As an Audible-commissioned playwright, she received funding and creative support to develop Weeds.

Skipping
Performance was spot on, story seemed good but after half an hour just kept skipping so couldn't finish listening. Tried on multiple devices so problem with audio recording.

Thought provoking
Beautifully written. I really felt connected to the characters and their emotions. Lumps in my throat towards the end. I'd highly recommend listening to this.

Capturing speeches
Absorbed by the monologues in this, told brilliantly by Lesley Sharp. The display of that deep seeded anger about what we're doing to the world gave me goosebumps - from the perspective of the activist and from a women trying to live a 'normal' life.
