JACK & MILLIE

The premier launch of a new play
based on the author’s true story of dealing with the mental challenges and sometimes funny moments of a cancer diagnosis. We all respond differently to life changing news. Millie, a fifty something professional at the peak of her career, is about to find out just how quickly life can change when she’s diagnosed with breast cancer. Millie deals with her shock diagnosis by creating an imaginary friend called Jack. Jack helps Millie make sense of a world that has been turned upside down.
The play, whilst highly entertaining, also offers genuine insights into dealing with long term health issues, like breast cancer.

SUPPORT
The aim of the play is to not only entertain, but to provide insight in a positive way to those touched by cancer. Which is almost all of us.
We have potential to take the play beyond the premier event especially when COVID
restrictions ease. But we do need funds to get the production off the ground so we have set up a go-fund-me page. If you are able to help (even just a small amount) we would be very grateful.

 

We also want to support Cancer Council Victoria and so will be giving them $2 per ticket. In addition you can donate here directly to the Cancer Council campaign via our campaign, for much needed funds for research and treatment.
