In 2018, in response to being diagnosed with incurable brain cancer, Phoebe created her one woman show The Glad Game, performed at Nottingham Playhouse House and Hampstead Theatre and subsequently made into a film. The Glad Game was Phoebe’s story of finding herself in the bleakest of times, of discovering gladness in the saddest of moments and about how what and who you love, can pull you through.
★★★★ ‘A mesmerising portrait of hope’ The Telegraph

An Evening With Phoebe will feature a screening of The Glad Game film with an introduction by family and friends as well as the launch of the Phoebe Frances Brown Award, a brand new playwriting award, created in partnership with Hampstead Theatre and Nottingham Playhouse.
