For the past seven years, Clare has been living in London. She works for a judge on child protection cases. Her partner, Miriam, is devoted to raising their young son, Rupert – their days are dominated by nap times, laundry and hiding from each other.

When Clare returns to Melbourne to visit her ailing father, another family crisis looms – her brother Max's long-term drug addiction. She turns her efforts towards helping Max into rehab, but is this at the expense of her family back in London?

Moving, heartbreaking and devastatingly insightful, Together We Fall Apart is a story about running away and coming home.

Sophie Matthiesson is a lawyer who holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Melbourne, a Bachelor of Laws from Monash University, and a Masters of Law from Cambridge University. She grew up in Melbourne, spent six years in London, and now lives in Central Victoria. Her short story Dead Heifers won the 2021 Boroondara Literary Award. Together We Fall Apart is her debut novel.

Eva Seymour graduated from the Full Time Program at 16th St Actors’ Studio in 2015, after which she was selected as the Red Stitch Graduate Ensemble Member for 2016. Throughout that year, her Red Stitch credits included The River, The Honey Bees, Trevor, You Got Older and Uncle Vanya. Eva furthered her training in 2017, when she was selected for the Acting Shakespeare Course at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London. Her film credits include Lazy Bones, Pillars, So Long, Fathers’ Day and The BBQ.
