Noonan told Dalton that her twenty-six year partnership with her husband was ending shortly after the performance. She described the situation as one of the toughest times in her life. The two creatives had known each other since 2001 when they were young artists from Brisbane.

Diary entries offer emotional support

Dalton recalled that Noonan shared how much the play touched her and how real the writing felt. He noted that their relationship became more poignant after she revealed her personal struggles. Six weeks later, she had moved out of the family home to live alone.
