‘A fiercely original Australian work’
All Tash and Sophie have is each other… and a semi-successful gardening publication. However, the one thing they want most in the world is to start a family. Two years and eight unsuccessful IVF cycles later, their hopes of motherhood are becoming nature’s cruellest joke. Tash is not only the evolution coordinator of their magazine, but of their lives. She is desperate for them to move on, but Sophie is stuck. Stuck on the couch. Stuck processing her partner’s betrayal and the harsh abandonment of her own biology. As their relationship comes to an uncomfortable halt, they both learn gardening’s best-kept secret – letting things fester is the most effective fertiliser.
Homegrown is a theatrical drama that steers into a realm of horror and magical realism as a relationship is slowly uprooted by something dangerous and unfathomable rooted in their walls.
