"The show follows the life of a middle-aged woman coming to terms with some of lifes issues and with wonderful theatrics conveys the heartbreak and personal discovery in a deep and moving way."
David Carlson, Patent Trader
A woman is haunted by unbearable memories -award winning play and short film.
Two brothers are forced to confront the intertwined nature of hatred and love. By turns funny and savage, the play ultimately recognizes that all truths kept silent become poisonous.
A different short play of mine has appeared in eight of the nine years the City Theatre Summer Shorts festival has been in existence - including 2004!
