The Whisper Comes Before the Plant

The Rainbow Room Productions

What happens when an awkward English woman and a loud Australian backpacker have to share a flat? Sounds like the start to a bad joke or a very good play.

Faith has a whisper. She has for the past year. It tells her how she should feel and what she should do. It helps her decide whether she's doing well or failing. It helps her to cope until she reluctantly has to rent her spare room to Timmy, the overly positive Aussie. He instantly destroys the organised reality she has created for herself and in doing so, opens her eyes to how she has been living. Who knew it would all start with the appearance of a potted plant?

Faith is clear lines and boundaries whereas Timmy is blurred areas and intrusive friendliness. This play is a comedy which tackles darker themes but also highlights how different people can help fix the things you thought were broken.
