Silver String Productions are proud to present the Victorian premiere of Caress/Ache by Suzie Miller (Sunset Strip/Prima Facie). Painfully relevant in 2022, Caress/Ache explores the potency of touch and how it defines our humanity.

A brilliant surgeon can no longer bear to touch the living. Two voices connect fleetingly over the phone. A desperate mother begs to embrace her son one last time. A young woman seeks understanding.

Disparate lives interweave, intersect, collide and connect in the most unexpected of ways in Caress/Ache. This is our world – where some long for the electrical charge of human contact, others flee it, and lives turn on the smallest moments of intimacy.

With Caress/Ache, Suzie Miller proves herself a most fearless playwright, revealing humanity in all its messy complexity.

Directed by Kate Shearman and features actors Sorab Kaikobad, Fiona Crombie, Laura Knaggs, Taylor Fong and Delaram Ahmadi.
