Description Under the stark lighting of a hospital waiting room, Mel, mother of injured four-year-old Hanny, anxiously awaits news of her child. Alex, a young businesswoman who witnessed the accident, comforts and calms her.

When Mel's estranged husband Dominic arrives, a series of surprising revelations begins to unfold I the waiting room. Just who is Alex, and what is her connection to Dominic and Hanny? Where was Mel when her daughter ran onto the road, and what truth is Dominic concealing? As accusations fly and lies unravel, the reality of their strangely interconnected lives is revealed.

'Hurt' is an exciting new Australian play that dissects modern relationships within the crucible of a family crisis. 'Hurt' skilfully keeps us on the edge of our seats for just over an hour, with its rapid-fire dialogue, and the emotionally charged secrets that lie at the heart of its characters' lives.
