How far would you go for a friend?

 A provocative story for our times, this funny and poignant new Australian play by award-winning writer Suzanne Hawley is both a comedy and a tragedy.

A tale of sea eagles and pole dancing, of children and childhood dreams, of religion and rock ‘n roll. Most of all this is a tale of friendships that have stood the test of time. Until now.

Jackie, Elizabeth, Frances and Susan become besties at high school and find freedom in Swinging London a decade later. After that they carve out very different lives for themselves and don’t see each other as often, but always meet up once a year for the ‘Musketeer’s dinner’.

But this year is different.

Past sixty, older but no wiser, the most radical member of the group is in crisis. To offer their support, the

‘Musketeers’ take Jackie back to her country home for a weekend – to relax and let their hair down. What could possibly go wrong?

What follows tests their friendship, their morals and their courage as never before.

And a final twist will change their lives forever.

…this play has a beating heart; this play will remind you of your own pulse under your skin, steady and true but not forever, not promised Sydney Morning Herald
