The musical comedy stresses the importance of mateship and professional care in times of crises and follows two men, played by John Wood and Chris Pidd, on the journey of their mental health issues.
Carpe Diem is a short (45 min) two-man play based around a farmer who is suffering from some mental health issues and his stock agent mate who helps him out. The production delivers an important message that is vital for the well-being of men, in a way that helps break down the stigma of seeking support early when life gets tough.
Carpe Diem is touring as part of the Australian Government Drought Assistance Package. The event is free and has been produced and funded by Carers NSW, in conjunction with Drought Assistance partners and providers The Ascent Group, Challenge, Richmond PRA and Schizophrenia Australia.
The venue for the play is the Guyra Bowling Club and a free BBQ will be held at the conclusion of the show, providing an opportunity for the community to meet John Wood. The production is suitable for ages 15+.
