The Fall
By Drew Hewitt

‘It’s never the fall that kills you…It’s the landing’. Whoever said that. Is wrong. It’s the fall.’

Janet and Liam are happily married until she stops talking to him. And everybody else. In an attempt to diagnose her loss of speech she begins seeing a psychiatrist who starts to probe at a secret buried in the depths of Janet’s psyche, the revelation of which has profound and lasting implications not just for her but the entire family.

Drew Hewitt’s masterful play examines with wit, humour and searing honesty the complex ideas surrounding free will, love and the painful truths of existence.
