Roz as sole character (musician, performer and writer) takes us on the journey through a variety of heartfelt and strikingly real characters she meets whilst she navigates the ‘taboo’d’ journey of the IVF procedure. No fancy sets, no tricks of the light, no costume changes – just Roz, her powerhouse voice, her acoustic guitar, three trestle tables and a script lovingly and very carefully ‘sticky taped’ across them. Join her while she asks the universal question - ‘have I f&^cked it?’ Best known as one half of Queensland’s favourite songwriting duo, women in docs, Roz shows us another side to what she does best – telling the truth, crying, laughing and singing her god-damned guts out.
