A Tale of Life, Death. . . And Lipgloss
At 41, Martin returns to his family home. His mother’s arms are not quite outstretched; in fact, they’re positively clenched. And his aged, sick father’s gone AWOL!
In the search for his missing father, Martin accidentally enlists the support of Chelsea – an unconventional, sassy “home help” who takes him on a bewildering journey through the caring system. She offers support in many guises; none of them very helpful! A bewildered Martin goes along with the flow until it all comes to a head. Can he take control and smooth the way to find his own “Fine Life”?
A comedy about truth, lies and all the grey bits in between.
Produced in conjunction with WriteForTheStage.
