Michael is waiting to give blood.
His brother Justin is waiting for a transfusion.
Abbey is just, well, waiting.
They don’t know it yet, but they desperately need each other.
In the most unlikely of meeting places, they slowly trade secrets – and a surprising love story emerges.
This is the plot to Christopher Harley’s Stooged Theatre production Blood Bank.
Blood Bank will premiere at the Newcastle Civic Theatre Playhouse in August.
Director Carl Young (Between Two Waves) teams up with a powerhouse ensemble of Glen Waterhouse (The Removalists), Elise Bialek (Proof) and Janet Gillam (Checklist for an Armed Robber) for a romantic comedy that promises to make audiences laugh and cry.
