There are half a million Australians who don’t even realise they have Type 2 diabetes.

SYNOPSIS

Former colleagues Tom, Rob and Gary catch up at their local over a drink. Tom and Gary are on the mineral water, but Rob is having none of it – he’s too busy living life in the fast lane and keeping up appearances, hoping for a promotion. Gary and Tom are determined to point out what that might mean for their friend Rob. A play that explores the myths and issues around Type 2 diabetes and the importance of early diagnosis.

FORMAT
