The Tumour Show
Jill Blewett Playwright's Award winner Peter Beaglehole's comedy about resilience, the end of the world, and his spinal tumour. Like a self-help meeting that goes off the rails, this is the story of finding joy in the horror of carrying on. Full of existential whimsy, this is an intimate, funny tale of staring into the void, then flipping it off.
This project has been developed in association with the Adelaide Festival Centre’s writeSPACE Development Program.
