SUNSET STRIP
BY SUZIE MILLER
“Look, I’m a fuck up, but maybe there’s some beauty in just surviving.”
How far will you go in the name of family?
Sisters Caroline and Phoebe have charted very different courses in their lives. While one escaped their hometown, the struggling holiday hamlet of Sunset Strip, for a high-lying legal career, the other has stayed, caring for their aging father and battling her own demons.
Now Caroline has returned, recovering from chemotherapy, to find the ever-optimistic Phoebe newly in love and determined to make life fabulous, despite dad’s decline into dementia.
From Olivier Award-winning Australian playwright Suzie Miller (Prima Facie, RBG: Of Many, One) comes this heartwarming examination of family love, the unique relationships between father/daughter and sister/sister, and surviving the worst that life dishes up with humour and resilience.
In the end, there’s always hope.
