Laugh, Cry and Learn with the Silk Rags Project

If a friend received a cancer diagnosis, what would you say and do?

We offer an award-winning educational reading & listening experience which explores this topic from different angles through laughter AND tears but also lessons learned along the way.

Our kits are for Individuals, Home Parties, Book Clubs & Community Theatre Groups.

Dig out your 'Inner Thespian', learn & raise funds for Cancer Research.

Our Story

Briohne Sykes Scriptwriter Powerfully Fragile The Silk Rags Project

Whilst undergoing cancer treatments, Briohne Sykes and Dee Handyside separately created a script and musical album which covered the experience.

They are now combined as an entertaining and educational experience which donates 38% of proceeds to Australian Cancer Research Foundation.

We acknowledge the collaboration and assistance of Griffith University in the research and development of our educational handout 'Not Sure What to Say & Do?'
