When Helen’s old friend, Nicola, comes to town for treatment, it only makes sense she should stay in the spare room. Nicola has put her faith in a shady alternative cancer clinic, and Helen is determined to be her brilliant friend and carer no matter what. But as the sleepless nights rack up, a short stay in the spare room becomes a loving, maddening battle for life.
Now, with Judy Davis as Helen and Elizabeth Alexander as Nicola, it’s a tour-de-force of modern Australian theatre.
