“We’re going to be ok?”
“We’re going to be ok.”
Krista (Bettina Paris) is an in-between jobs actor working bars in London.
Pip (Tina Rizzo) lives in Malta and is newly engaged.
They’re sisters. They’re close. Even distance couldn’t drift them apart.
To the world, their lives seem relatively normal. However, for as long as they can remember, their Paps always enjoyed a drink.
Now, they’re beginning to see things as they really are.
Sisyphean Quick Fix is a funny, thought-provoking comedy-drama about the impact of substance misuse on a family and the almost insurmountable sisyphean job of tackling it.
“A tale of sadness, sacrifice and sisterhood”, Sisyphean Quick Fix is “a show that’ll make you laugh, make you cry, and most of all make you empathise and think about those who society hasn’t really talked about that much.” (Adventures in Theatreland)
Directed by Nicky Allpress (The Shape of Things, Park Theatre; Walworth Farce, Southwark Playhouse), written by Bettina Paris, and inspired by her own personal story, starring Tina Rizzo and Paris, in the respective roles of Pip and Krista.
