Seizing Cinderella: Raising the Curtain on Epilepsy

Stephanie Street’s play Seizing Cinderella tackles the issue of epilepsy awareness head-on. Based on the true story of Ross ( played by Brendan Coyle) it tells of the loss of his 26 year old daughter Karen (Louise Brealey) after years battling with the condition. It’s a double loss – first to the character-change that came with the merciless anti-epileptic medication, and then to SUDEP (Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy)
