Winner of the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Best Production for Young People. Winner of the Chalmers Childrens Playwrighting Award. Two Weeks, Twice a Year is about the difficult relations between a boy and his father six years after the parents have divorced. The plays central question comes from Joe, the twelve year old son, and Gogo, his six year old alter–ego: "Does Dad really love me?" The question is explored with humour and the plays answer strives to be both realistic and optimistic.
