Kill Me Now is a black comedy about Jake who has sacrificed his career as a writer to care for his teenage son Joey. Both are keeping secrets - Jake about his love life and Joey about his plans for the future. But when disaster strikes, they are forced to ask whos really looking after who. Bittersweet, fast-paced, ricocheting between the comedy and tragedy of disability, Kill Me Now is a funny and moving play about how we care for the people we love.
Gothic, offbeat, hilarious... he tells his fractured stories of fractured lives in a way that is compellingly theatrical * Guardian [on Brad Fraser] *
