Somebody’s Daughter is a one woman show based on Zara Phillip’s book of the same title. It features background music by Richard Thompson.
Adopted as a baby in the 1960s, becoming a backing vocalist to well known bands in the 80s, and getting sober at 22, Zara takes us on her journey to uncover the truth about her history.
The story is told with humor and no-holds-barred honesty about the complexity of having four parents, becoming a mother, and learning to navigate it all.
