For Ann and other enquiring minds, it happens that Gwen lives out in the sticks a bit. Last weekend she got a lift to another out-of-the-way property for a party. If you were the proverbial flying crow, it would be less than 10kms away but driving is 3 hours and public transport is... anyone's guess. On the way home, we dropped her off in Beenleigh where she had a mere 20 minutes before the train came to take her to Robina...then only a half an hour on the train. Things were looking rosy. When she got to Robina, her next-door neighbour was getting off the same train - did she want a lift? Nooonono she was fine - all organised - another friend is giving her a lift... wave goodbye see you later, 10 minutes later her other friend calls to say his car won't start! Not enough money in her pocket for a cab, too much luggage to hitch-hike, no friends answering her calls... the heavens open and she sits on her luggage in the pouring rain and starts laughing like a loony. Eventually someone answered her SOS texts and took her back home - late but still chuckling. It was her birthday too!

Don't just leave it at that, enquiring minds want to know. Its supposed to be an excellent play although I didn't get to see it.
After a sell out season in Sydney Gwen In Purgatory plays at La Boite's Roundhouse Theatre until 24 October :)
Beautiful! Cara
