'An unorthodox relationship develops between Mary, a career-driven business executive in her mid-50s, and Tim, a handsome 25-year-old labourer with a mild intellectual disability. Tim has grown up in a small but loving, working-class family who have tried to shelter him from the cruelness of the world. What begins as a chance meeting between them, soon develops into a life-changing relationship with shattering consequences.
'Tim is a new Australian play filled with love, loss and acceptance, which explores the importance of embracing differences, opening oneself to the fullness of life and the opportunities it has to offer.'
