Disparate Scenes for Millennial Dreams
Three of Australia's most promising young playwrights join forces to bring you a triple bill of brand new plays. Playwright Ang Collins in her piece Huge Indoor Plant Warehouse Sale has turned her trademark wit towards a new-fangled milennial obsession: indoor plants/"All the anxieties, frustrations and indecurities of today's twenty domethings are being poured into the maintenance of indoor ferns and monsteras,"Colin says. "Rather than settling down and saving for your first home, we're doting on fiddle leafs and it seems as though we;re purpodefully diverting our own attention away from more important things. Playwright Lewis Treston has written the not-quite-love-story of two cosplay enthusiasts who meet by chance on Osaka, Japan. The piece Ondo Osaka devastatingly unpicks the sordid hypocrasies of our timeQ "I tried to tell the story of the loniest Spiderman and nastiest Sailor Moon you've ever met/ The whole thing is basically a dance between two men who aren't at all forthcoming about who they really are and what they're really up to.: Playwright Fiona Spitzkowsky's piece Sawn Chorus in A Minor weaves around the ther two plays, as two young people wait for salvatrion in a warehouse0turned-gallery. They huddle in the air-conditioning, sheltering rom the now oppressive heat wrought by human induced climate change. Sptzkowsky says :For me, this was an opprotunity to explore hiw the power structures that currently define our personal and political relationships might survive and thrive in the coming climate catastrophe. What are we willing to conserve in the name of self-preservation. |
