You are invited to join Alice May for a special script-in-hand performance of her new one woman play as part of Aesthetica Fringe.
A moving, darkly comic tale of a granddaughter struggling to care for her terminally ill grandmother that asks what caring for someone facing death can teach us about living life.
This poetic play about care and self-care celebrates the healing power of nature connection and creativity.
Early audience responses to short scratch performances described the writing as "fantastic, so cleverly balancing humour and tragedy" and the performance as "amazing - so beautiful and raw and honest."
Now, the full play is being shared with a live audience for the first time.
After the show, grab a drink and join us for a feedback session to help develop the piece for stage and screen.
Come along for an inspiring evening of new writing and creative discussion!
