Serious themes of homelessness, alienation manipulation and deception
About this event
Seventy-year-old Ivan has been homeless for many years. Seventeen-year-old
Luke has been homeless for seven hours. Tonight their worlds collide as
each struggles for clarity, self-worth and domination of the other.
Through their cat and mouse games, Benchmarks explores the themes of
homelessness, alienation, belonging, manipulation and deception.
