like me
2021 - 2022
(full-length play | in development)
​
A romantic comedy about Shakespeare pandemics falling in love with your best friend.
-------------------- -----------------
One-sentence synopsis: Rosie and Cee go away for a week in the country, but when an old friend arrives on their doorstep, their friendship is pushed to the very limit.
​
Blurb: Rosie and Cee try to have a week away in country Victoria, but find the (picnic) rug is very quickly pulled from under them.
A love-letter to togetherness in a time of isolation, like me asks: how do we love in the face of uncertainty; can we settle for second-best if second-best is not an option; what happens when the only person you have eyes for doesn’t quite see you in the same way?
A Shakespearean comedy for the present day, like me is about sheep, finding yourself, and that one special friend whose company you never want to leave.
