The grass is always greener on the other side, according to Drew. He’s never happy with his lot in life - life owes him and he wants an upgrade. But you can’t always get what you want...
Drew and Jen are having a tough time and they have fallen out of love. Jen’s mum has Alzheimer’s and they are up to their necks in debt. Drew’s mate and boss, Phil, seems to be living the perfect life, but are things as rosy as they seem in his household?
This to This is a poignant, often funny drama reflecting one couple’s struggle in the current credit-crunch climate.
The play previously played to excellent reviews at the Union Theatre and the original cast and director are back together especially for Open Secret at Abbeyfest.
