Life without lemons | Rob Ricards

A full lengthe play for the stage, 3m, 4f + two dancers. Paddy's life is dissected at his wake. Paddy is a professor, a poet and a celebrity of sorts. His Thai wife is thirty years younger, a dancer whose career eventually overshadows that of her husband. Paddy's nephew and his wife are her contemporaries and their daughter is a leading dancer at the studio. The journey travels back and forth between youth and age and throws up testing periods for the family until the final act of infamy is told in dance.
