‘FOR THE BEST’ is built from real stories of dead friendships. It’s messy, hilarious, and all too painfully familiar. The storytellers are everyday people; locals of Waverley who share their raw takes on why and how their friendships broke down and the aftermath of these breakups. These true accounts are then woven together with live music by Luke Dux (The Kill Devil Hills) into a performance that looks unflinchingly at what it means to lose a friend, and to live with the space they leave behind. Expect some light-hearted and serious takes on a deeply vulnerable subject – underpinned by a cautious hopefulness about what the future holds.

Created by Jeffrey Jay Fowler (The Last Great Hunt) with Mark Storen and Georgia King (Whiskey & Boots), whose award-winning works include THE ONE, MAMA STITCH, and FAG/STAG.
