Gifted playwright Roland Henning is trying to convince his sceptical therapist Nina that he doesn't have writer's block. It's just that, well, he can't write any more. With Nina's help, Roland reluctantly recalls his primary school days in the outer Sydney suburb of Como, and the extraordinary day that shattered his boyhood, plunging him headlong into the dizzy circus of art and life. But as Roland remains adamant that he is beyond help and will never write again, a chance discovery offers him a chance of salvation.

Will he grasp it or slip back into old habits? This fine new play by the writer of Away is a compelling journey of personal self-discovery and regeneration.

This production contains mild coarse language and drug references.
