Synopsis

A drama, set in Melbourne, told with humour. A thought-provoking work that grapples with one of life’s biggest questions – how do we become the architect of our own life?

Helen is very unwell and is required to take on a temporary carer when her partner, John, heads off on a brief overseas trip. She concedes to the arrangement by selecting the least likely candidate; a dubious drifter and jack-of-all-trades, Lennie. From disparate worlds they form an unexpected bond of respect and understanding, but their harmony is disrupted by the arrival of Helen’s son, Jeremy, and early return of John.

‘It’s a play about living in extremis. It’s about being prepared to both live or die at a moments notice…What’s ‘normal’ goes out the window and people’s behaviour and choices often do too.’ Aidan Fennessy
