Waiting For Monday

It is a truth universally acknowledged that a woman in possession of four brain tumours must be in want of a funeral director.

With all the honesty, heartache, and hilarity of Melodramatic, Waiting for Monday is the prequel in Megan Parkinson’s debut series that allows us to witness the makings of Mel.

When Mel hears of her mum’s terminal prognosis, it doesn’t take her long to leave her life in London behind to be by Theresa’s side.

As Theresa’s huge presence begins to shrink – slowly at first, and then all at once – Mel and her dad face an entirely new reality, handling things the only way they know how — by making each other laugh.

Hard-hitting with sprinkles of lighthearted humour, Waiting for Monday is about the light that’s found in periods of complete darkness.

It’s about the chance encounters that can alter life’s path, and the people whose footprints overlap our own as we move through each character-defining chapter.
