Fringe Westside 2024: Jack and Millie

Based on the author's breast cancer journey, this work brings a unique comic perspective to the stage. 'Jack' is portrayed as Millie's cancer - her inner thoughts, her courage, fear and (often funny) human frailties.

A highly engaging piece of theatre that allows us to delve into the world of receiving a life threatening diagnosis. Performed in a non-natural style, the play is stripped back to a minimalist set with three actors - Phil Cameron Smith as 'Jack', Alaine Beek as 'Millie' and Green Room award-winner Ross Daniels portraying the multiple characters that fill Millie's world.

Critically acclaimed, 'Jack and Millie' has been studied by hundreds of high school students in 2022 (listed on VCE drama curriculum) and toured through Victoria and into NSW.

"Jack and Millie ... is an incredibly accessible and lovely example of storytelling in its simplest form. It is heartfelt and speaks to something many people don’t know how to express in a kind, funny, warm way." Theatre Travels (2022)
