It’s a fantastic coming together of Drumm’s dialogue and the O’Kanes’ delivery, that will wring your heart through love, grief, fear, and joy.‘

Reviews:
“Although there are some heavy and dark issues put forth in the play, Ms Drumm’s compassionate writing handles them with sensitivity and the moments of humour, which are nicely interspersed throughout the play, give us, the audience, a little breathing space. We laugh, cry and feel hope.”
