"God's Diary"
A stage play
by Maureen Sherlock
Steve J. Spears was one of Australia’s most successful writers who died eight years ago from an inoperable brain tumour at the age of 56. He was also our oldest friend from university days and godfather to our children. Because of his brain cancer he lost the use of the right side of his body and was unable to work on his final novel ‘God’s Diary’. He asked Maureen to help him finish it.
Steve had no living blood family (apart from a cousin he hated who was a religious fanatic) and it was his many friends who rallied to care for him. Despite Steve’s inevitable death, this period was an exhilarating time of hilarity, craziness, anger, sadness and love as his friends ensured Steve’s final months would be memorable .
