Synopsis

High in the Australian mountains, within the security and comfort of their ancestral home, a family waits.

Three generations have come together to care for their terminal ill daughter.

This powerful new drama from one of Australia's most important dramatist, is an evocative portrait of a family forced to accept that their world is about to change forever.

Sewell reveals, through a heart-breaking crisis, the impact of the political upon the personal.

The Sick Room is a wise and timely work, which takes us inside the private world of our nation's leaders, to reflect the nation itself.

(2 acts: 4 men, 3 women -- doubling possible)
