The Woman In The Mirror
A fearlessly honest, bitingly witty and unexpectedly uplifting true story of a mother and daughter navigating the realities of caregiving.
Blindsided when her mother receives a life-changing diagnosis, Dayna writes a Facebook post. Waking up to hundreds of responses she realises she isn’t alone, and begins to share all the ups, downs, hilarity and heartbreak with her new-found cyber support network.
An award-winning play from Radio Hall of Famer Dayna Steele, based on the best-selling book Surviving Alzheimer's with Friends, Facebook and a Really Big Glass of Wine. ‘A love letter to caregivers.’ (Houston Press)
