| Description | A one-act play which uses black humour to depict the loneliness of a young mother suffering postnatal depression, and her unsuccessful attempts to garner support and understanding from family and the medical profession. Uses humour and absurdity as a vehicle for serious issues, including the way the media encourages the public to see stories like Joss's as morbidly sensationalised entertainment. |
