Just before her wedding, Alice’s father returned home from prison. Glass Houses is a love letter to family, showing us that love conquers all – even the prison industrial complex. Through stand-up, stories and original song, Alice Tovey tells the story of a cancelled wedding, budgies, a diagnosis and a chef in a show about learning our parents are human, and choosing empathy over isolation.
