Meet the cast: Phoebe Janner

Hello, my name is Phoebe Janner and I play the amazingly funny, lovable, seven year old; Hawker. Playing a seven year old, especially Hawker, is incredibly refreshing as I have to throw away all inhibitions. I cannot over analyse my lines or be conscious of my movements. Suddenly, I have reverted back to the days of being seven years old, ridiculously free and uninhibited.  If I suddenly have an urge to jump on my chair and do a roley poley, I can do it!
Hawker acts as the adult in the relationship with her mother. She is only seven but often acts as if she is forty, adding comedy and highlighting her firm and at times serious character. Kit is no ordinary mother. Hawker has grown up having to amuse herself and as a result lives in her own fantastical world. Hawker is surrounded by a range of adults. This isolates her from the group and the drama, making her juxtapose the tension, thus acting as a breath of fresh air.
I can’t wait to act Hawker and work once again with the wonderfully talented cast and crew!!
