Synopsis
:-
Set in the microcosm of the
Chemotherapy waiting room where the same people meet each week
and, whether or not they are aware of it, affect each others
lives. The play follows their journey and shows how the will to
survive helps them in the experiences they encounter. Though they
face ups and downs, because one of the coping strategies they
employ is humour, the sound of laughter is never absent for long.
