Peach Cobbler
It's 7:30pm and the family sits up for dinner. How was your day? Was it busy at work? Do you really think you should be drinking that much? Family secrets, motivations and opinions are heard loud and clear. Politics and misogyny take their place at the table alongside fears and hopes.
Local Adelaide playwright Laura Desmond explores the conversations had behind closed doors. Nominated for Best Spoken Word at the Greater Manchester Fringe for 'socially [un]acceptable' in 2019.
