NEW AUSTRALIAN PLAY OFFERS HOPE AND TRUST IN THE FACE OF DESPAIR When you're at the precipice... whom can you trust? Sydney is about to see new play about friendship and self-discovery... on the edge. Two strangers who meet atop a tall building must make a leap of faith or embrace their own despair in a new Australian play which makes its debut in Sydney in November 2013. Award winning playwright Gerry Greenland was inspired to write this play after witnessing the devastating effect that loss had on a friend. People fall into very dark places when they lose faith in themselves in others and in life itself Greenland says Rational thinking disappears and existence itself seems pointless. Regaining hope and trust in somethingor someone however small is the life-raft that can rescue them from disaster.I wanted to write a play that would make audiences laughyet still engage them to share that dark journey and to help them hear in others that hidden cry for a life-raft.
