Description

One night, an off-duty police officer and a woman carrying a cat box meet on Beachy Head. Two disparate souls collide, and learn what it truly means to be touched by the magic of hope. Philip Osments final play, Can I Help You is a magical realist examination of the role race and gender have to play in mental health and suicide.
