Published by Nick Hern Books
A painful and painfully funny new play about being very young and
in love - and coping with serious illness at the same time
Rachel and Peter are seventeen - they've been going out for six months and it's love's young dream
But 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
A bittersweet and poignant tale of love and misunderstanding - and discovering that what you say and do can be very different from what you think and feel
