Dubious Intent

Have you ever had a platonic friendship that plays out like a romantic relationship?

Michael and Jesse book a study room every week to work with the intention of on day becoming successful writers. Their storied friendship has been fading, but is held together by a shared promise. A promise which one of them has intentions to break. When your only means of communicating is contention, hard truths and heart-to-hearts can be dubious.

'Dubious Intent' explores our intense friendships that induce anxiety and feel as though one wrong move could end it abruptly - and what to do when the spark is gone. It is written and directed by Callum O’Mara who studied at WAAPA and the Howard Fine Studio, it is the first original production from the Lonely Heart Theatre Company.

Presented by: Lonely Heart Theatre Company and The Garage International

Lonely Heart Theatre Company was formed in early 2023 by Callum O'Mara with the help of Luca Catalano. O'Mara considers himself an actor, but a lack of opportunity inspired him to create his own space to showcase the acting talent of himself and his contemporaries.

Lonely Heart Theatre Company's debut show was Rogues’ Gallery by John Patrick Shanley, which went up at the Butterfly Club early July. Well received and talked of highly, the show consisted of eight actors who acted a monologue each from this recently written show by the renowned American playwright. The company hopes to give more emerging actors the opportunity to work with good professional material but also wants to champion artists trying to put up original work.
