Winner 2008 Helpmann Award - Best New Australian Work

Gifted playwright Roland Henning is trying to convince his sceptical therapist Nina that he doesn’t have writer’s block. It’s just that, well, he can’t write any more. With Nina’s help, Roland reluctantly recalls his primary school days in the outer Sydney suburb of Como, and the extraordinary day that shattered his boyhood, plunging him headlong into the dizzy circus of art and life. But as Roland remains adamant that he is beyond help and will never write again, a chance discovery offers him a chance of salvation.

Will he grasp it or slip back into old habits? This fine new play by the writer of Away is a compelling journey of personal self-discovery and regeneration.

This production contains mild coarse language and drug references.

“...incisive, delightful and brimming with humour and humanity...an uproarious evenings entertainment." Stephen Davenport, Adelaide Theatre Guide

"...a thoroughly enjoyable performance, excellently acted, and raising a number of questions about what it is — or could be - that we do for love — or is it just for lust?" Peter Bleby, Australian Stage

"..it will make you laugh enough to fall into your neighbour’s seat..." Farrin Foster, The Independent Weekly
