Lavender
The Courtyard Theatre, London.
Lavender follows a relationship fuelled by shepherd’s pie, 'Uno', and cancer. The play opens in a counselling session as Edie reflects on her relationship with recently passed, Harvey. The play follows this unlikely pair, who ultimately become each other's lives. Throughout their fast-paced journey, we meet lots of different characters who impact their fate, but it isn’t long before the whispers of an illness begin to manifest between them. This is a story about the effect cancer has on those diagnosed and those left to hold their hand.
