Philip and Rowena will show
you how to live life to the fullest. Fun and laughter is part of their journey-
come and join them at Killarney Avenue Hotel.
None of us wants to think
about dying but when faced with the reality, hospice care is now an option for
all of us.
Hospice care focuses on
relief from pain and the physical and mental stress associated with terminal
illness. The goal is to concentrate on the quality of life (rather than length)
for the patient and their families.
Gillian Plowman’s play “Philip
and Rowena” is a poignant but beautiful illustration of two terminally ill
people who are determined to enjoy their lives. They have accepted the
inevitable. Fate has brought them together and they find friendship, romance
and an amazing capacity for fun!
During rehearsals, Dochas
Drama cast members and director Liz Ryan decided that it provides a fitting
tribute to the philosophy of Hospice care and to all of those who provide this
wonderful service. As a result, it was decided to present “Philip & Rowena”
to promote hospice awareness in our area.
Despite the theme, the play
provides many humorous moments and we have no doubt that you will enjoy it!
