Babyteeth

A group of more or less ordinary Sydneysiders go about their lives: Anna makes toast, Henry dresses for work, Milla catches the train to school, Moses deals drugs-that kind of thing. But hovering above this unholy parade of life is the sobering fact that Milla will be dead before her fifteenth birthday. But wait... this is a comedy. Rita Kalnejais has corralled an unlikely collective of characters-a grieving mum, a junkie, a girl dying of cancer, an eight-year-old Vietnamese violin prodigy, and a Latvian immigrant among them-to realise an extraordinary play about life, death and gratitude.

Ideal for readers interested in literature & poetry.
