Second Hand Problems
Junction Theatre
Six women, three stories, one limbo. Will they ever find their way out?
2022 - Alice is getting married today. Carol had four husbands, but it didn't end
well with the last one... . Meeting over a bargain box in a charity shop, they
soon discover the horrific truth about their existence and hang on to their only
hope of retribution.
2005 - Cat is trying to fill in a form at an abortion clinic and make the hardest
decision of her life when her dead mother appears to stir things up. Is she
going crazy, or do they have unfinished business?
1985 - Mel is looking to escape the commotion of her mother's wake, and in
the basement, she finds a weird tape revealing a secret queer past. Will she
find the courage to break the cycle of shame her family is stuck in?
Second Hand Problems is a wacky, honest and moving tragi-comedy about the
shared griefs and joys of being a woman and the importance of sisterhood.
These stories highlight how women can help each other through life's darkest
moments.
Join us straight after the matinee performance on Sunday August 4th for a 20 minutes Q&A with the team behind the show.
