Mum's Promise: Dawn and Jennah

Jennah talks to her Mum about leaving home to follow her dreams of becoming an actress and what it might be like if she hits the big time.

10yr old Jennah lives with her family in a small Norfolk seaside village but has her sights set firmly on a career as an actress. She has been appearing in local drama school productions for many years now and is determined to perfect her skills in singing, dancing and acting to ensure herself a place on the West End stage. Supporting her all the way is her Mum, Dawn. Equally as sure that Jennah will one day make it, Dawn is happy to do anything that is necessary to help her reach her goal - even if this might mean Jennah heading off to London to study away from her Mum. Jennah is a sensible girl with her feet firmly on the ground and knows she has to please Dad too and keep up with her school work. Also important to Dawn is that Jennah still has a childhood and has fun with her friends, doing what any other 10yr old would do. In this conversation they talk about what it would be like if Jennah leaves home to study in London, possibly aged only 14 and what it might be like when Jennah hits the big time.
