About this show
Best friends since childhood, Kate and Alice are now living opposite lives on opposite sides of the world. In Australia, Kate seemingly has everything; husband, house, child, dog. Alice has her artistic career in London, independent but lonely. Struggling to communicate with each other they ashamedly conceal the cracks in their lives. Tensions break at their joint thirtieth birthday party as they feel judged on their life choices. Humorous rapid rhyming lyrics and lush jazz orchestrations score this new musical about decision paralysis, female friendships, the fear of failure and the meaning of home.
