DECOUPAGE SKIN

by Michael Griffith

Helen is a suburban housewife who irons, keeps the house clean and fantasises about the police arriving at the door with the news that her husband and two children are dead. Morbid? Perhaps. As she talks to the audience about her life, family secrets, depression and the keeping up of appearances, her soul is gradually revealed.

'Funny and clever.' Margaret Weiringa, Buzz Cuts.

'Rich Thematic territory, strong simple premise, evocative images, great poetic writing.' Louise Gough, Literary Manager, Playbox
