A group of friends are trying to come to terms with the death of a friend from AIDS. The play addresses their emotions and also those of the dead man as he explores the afterlife.

Hushabye Mountain reveals a world that has learned to live with AIDS. It is full of love, pain, laughs and friendship, where drugs in their various combinations are exhilarating, destructive, costly and even life restoring. Hushabye Mountain premièred at the Lyceum Theatre, Crewe, in February 1999, in a production with English Touring Theatre.
