Extinguished Things
"My neighbours leave their flat one morning but don't return. Al and Evie, married 40 years, no kids. I have their spare keys. I cannot resist."
In a house that will never be lived in the same way again, Molly looks under the rock of a marriage, a family, an existence and brings to light what has been left in the dark. The voices of a past echoed in belongings. Items left behind. Extinguished things.
A new play from award winning playwright Molly Taylor, who returns to Adelaide after a smash-hit season of "Love Letters to the Public Transport System" at the 2018 Adelaide Fringe. 'Extinguished Things' is a vivid, complex and moving look at what it means to spend your life with someone.

What a storyteller! Molly Taylor could probably take last week’s shopping list and make it seem interesting - Fran Edwards, GLAM Adelaide
Taylor’s writing is poetic and as poignant as her performance, taking us deeper and deeper into Alton and Evie’s private world - Suzie Keen, InDaily
Taylor has a gift for lulling an audience into nostalgic reverie, the joy in the mundane - Jen St Jack, Great Scott
