Two people. Two stories. One aim: to start again rather than settle for the lives they were always expected to live.
Blending comedy, storytelling and theatre, Recalculating explores what happens when life in your forties stops going the way you thought it would.
Dawn had built the kind of life she was meant to want: marriage, family routines and the full netball-mum schedule. Then she realised the destination no longer felt like hers, took an unexpected turn, and started figuring out who she actually wanted to be.
Anthony took a far less orderly route. His attempt to start over involved questionable decisions, wrong turns and a chain of unlikely events that culminated in what can only be described as a near-assassination attempt.
Told from two very different perspectives, this is a funny, honest show about reinvention, risk, identity, and finding the courage to change direction when the life ahead no longer feels like your own.
