Summary

An offbeat, lyrical drama about how our hopes and dreams can be thwarted by the choices we make - and by the ones we don't make.  
Ella's got a project. After ten years she has completed her piano concerto, and now she needs the help of Liz and Beth to get it performed. But first they've got some history to negotiate, and some old scores to settle.  
'a complex, slippery study of psychological crisis... poignant and roaringly funny' - The Times  
'an astonishing piece - witty, emotionally raw and deeply affecting - that leaves you gasping at the imaginative ingenuity of the dramatist's central conceit... exceptionally touching and ingenious' - Telegraph  
'a strong, beautiful, haunting play' - Sunday Times
Available since: 05/17/2016.

    A painful - and painfully funny - play about being very young and in love - and coping with serious illness at the same time.
    Rachel and Peter are seventeen. They have been going out for six months. It's love's young dream. Then Rachel gets ill - seriously ill. She doesn't want her mum to fuss; she doesn't want Alice to pretend she's her best friend; and she certainly doesn't want Alice's boyfriend telling bad jokes at her bedside. The only person she wants is Peter, but Peter doesn't know what it is that he wants.
    When You Cure Me premiered at the Bush Theatre, London, in 2005.
    'In one of the year's finest pieces of new writing... a compassionate, gripping portrait of a fledgling relationship that is asked to bear more than many well-established marriages' Evening Standard
    'painstakingly honest... acutely observant of the petty rivalries and jealousies that sickness provokes' Guardian
    '[has] a merciless precision... a brave piece of writing that, with its damaged and angry heroine, unflinchingly shows us not a vision of saintly suffering, but a far more engagingly human struggle for survival'  The Times
