Synopsis: My Sunny Boy is a fresh Australian comedy by Gold Coast playwright Amy McDonald. Audrey Hart’s life is turned upside down when her husband Ted leaves her for his pregnant mistress. Pregnant and heartbroken, Audrey escapes to the quirky seaside town of The Cape to rebuild her life. Years later, she has found a peaceful rhythm raising her teenage son George, running a belly-dancing business and enjoying coastal life — until Ted reappears with an offer that threatens to disrupt everything.
