Injectables. Nips, tucks and lifts. A biohacking wellness host on a mission to defy death. Just your average girls’ weekend, courtesy of screenwriter and playwright Marieke Hardy (Heartbreak High, Laid).
Travel writer Jo is turning 50 and has invited her two ride-or-dies along for an unforgettable celebration: an all-expenses-paid visit to flashy new wellness resort, The Royal You. Expecting a long-overdue catch-up in steam rooms and infrared saunas, they instead arrive at a high-end medispa, where supercharged cosmetic procedures are upsold to unsuspecting guests. When a medical mishap turns disastrous, the women are left with some wildly unexpected and gravity-defying side effects.
Marieke Hardy is a curator, screenwriter, playwright, artist and producer. She has penned columns for The Age, The Drum and Frankie magazine, and written for numerous television shows. Marieke’s ABC comedy series, Laid, was the winner of several awards and recently adapted for the US market. Her smash hit adaptation of Dario Fo’s No Pay?
