SUMMARY
What do you do when out of the blue life turns you upside down, grabs your heart and squeezes it tight? When a mother recognizes that something isn’t right and needs all her love strength and resilience to support her son.

This multimedia production takes us on an honest, courageous and compassionate journey into one young man’s mind, to the place where borders are shifting  and battle lines are being drawn. 

And into his mother’s struggle to understand what is happening to maintain her loving relationship with her son and to somehow find help. 

Come on a compelling, fast moving roller coaster of a journey - dramatic, at times heartbreaking yet surprisingly funny - where different realities collide and everything changes.


Quote

“a rollercoaster ride of uncertain tension, increasing awareness and rising empathy. Farris and Mann offer outstanding performances. Farris charts Simon’s difficult journey with such truth and understanding that the audience is held spellbound by his powerful performance. Mann contains Sue’s pain and confusion with absolute conviction. Professionalism radiates through every aspect of this dynamic and engrossing insight into the plight of all who are directly or indirectly affected ...
Highly recommended”
