The So Crocodile Trilogy

Kitty is the final play of the "So Crocodile" Trilogy, which chart stories of women in their 30\\u2019s, 40\'s, 50\\u2019s and 90\'s with a later life diagnosis of autism. This represents a perhaps less understood and certainly greatly under-represented group of women. As the Trilogy portrays, everyday life for these women carries significantly greater and unexpected challenges.
