New boyfriend, new city, new life! The future's so bright…

But when he's suddenly a patient on the notorious 5GREEN, it's life and death. But not your life or your death… How do you make sense of that?

Cancer Wife looks past the obvious story, past the patient, outside the spotlight, where you start to feel like a secondary character in your own life. But you still have to show up for him, because you're in the middle of the biggest battle you never imagined.

Created by sherri elle, with special thanks to TJ Dawe and Megan Phillips.

cancer wife?

sherri elle theatre projects—Creative Manitoba

Sherri Elle gives a performance rife with the jitters of a very personal subject with a tone that is just genuine and earnest enough to warm one to her. If you’re walking into this expecting a powerful commentary on the effects of cancer on a family, this might not be exactly what you’re looking for. What this is, however, is an appropriately light-hearted, and at times measured, display of how a cancer diagnosis can heighten everything, for everyone, and how easily it can turn a life into chaos. She asks for no validation, and really barely asks for sympathy, just asks for you to listen. And I was happy to.
