Joanne Riley always knew there was something different about her son Jackson - he didn’t interact with other kids, was very demanding and rarely spoke. Then came the bombshell: Jackson was diagnosed with autism.
Everyone tried to pull together, but when Grandma moved in to “help out”, things took a decided downward turn!!!
Living the Life of Riley is a heart-warming, heart-breaking and hilarious tale of a family trying to negotiate their way through teenage tantrums, autism, and Grandma.

What our audience said: A brilliant story, true to life, a couple of tears but many laughs… Highly recommended.
The trials and tribulations of family life with serious issues and serious laughter, a fabulous cast and an amazing show.
Although very real and sad at times, it makes you realise you are not alone.
