Caress/Ache - by Suzie Miller
About
Silver String Productions present the Victorian premiere of Caress/Ache by Suzie Miller (Sunset Strip/Prima Facie). Painfully relevant in 2022, Caress/Ache explores the potency of touch and how it defines our humanity.A brilliant surgeon can no longer bear to touch the living. Two voices connect fleetingly over the phone. A desperate mother begs to embrace her son one last time. A young woman seeks understanding.
Disparate lives interweave, intersect, collide and connect in the most unexpected of ways in Caress/Ache. This is our world – where some long for the electrical charge of human contact, others flee it, and lives turn on the smallest moments of intimacy.
Directed by Kate Shearman and features actors Sorab Kaikobad, Fiona Crombie, Laura Knaggs, Taylor Fong & Delaram Ahmadi.
