Be there to witness the chaos as Beth deals with close encounters of the Upper Hutt kind. With an obese hypochondriac, a flaccid Scotsman, a precocious five year old and a dancing, love sick, courier - it'll be a day you'll never forget... but one Beth will definitely want to.

Nikki MacDonnell's (She Stoops to Conquer, Spreading Out) award winning solo show, If Pain Persists, won critical acclaim during it's premiere season in 2002. Following on from that success Nikki has reworked her popular show with director Damon Andrews (Niu Sila, Wheeler's Luck) for a fantastic return season at Circa. The perfect prescription to soothe your autumn ills - be sure not to miss it!

"...a fabulously realised cast of surburban types." - Timothy O'Brien, The Dominion.

"In her ode to a chemist girl MacDonnell again proves to be performer of rare dynamic range." - Mark Amery, Sunday Star Times.
