During a Sydney summer in the 1980's, a beautiful young woman named Candy meets Dan, a charismatic junkie. Their love blossoms quickly, and in their desire to share everything, Candy tries heroin. This marks the beginning of their descent, as heroin becomes a constant and demanding presence in their relationship.

This production marks the theatre debut of the stage adaptation of Luke Davies' novel Candy: A Novel of Love and Addiction, which was first adapted for the screen in 2006 starring Heath Ledger and Abbie Cornish.

Witnessing Candy and Dan's love story unfold on stage serves as a powerful tool for audiences to gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of addiction.
