Ripe

The different worlds of Claire and Elisabeth collide as they navigate a series of weird and often terrifying events one fateful New Year's Eve in Sydney. Run-away Claire has fled her mother’s fury following the discovery of Claire’s relationship with Duncan, an older family friend. Elisabeth is on the streets to avoid the rage of her drug-addled boyfriend simply because she's taken his dog for a walk. Claire and Elisabeth are changed by the long night and each other. Midnight fireworks light the night sky. Happy new year.

    This was a charged piece of theatre performed with sincerity, maturity and immense bravery. - Emily Hutchinson, Upside Adelaide

  •          

    Both actors handled an intense and dynamic script with ease. From the second they entered the room my attention was held. - Abbie Lowe, Binge Fringe

  • This is majestic poor theatre at its finest. Playwright’s great achievement, well set by Director. - David O-Brien, The Barefoot Review

  • At no time will your attention wane, such is the pace, dexterity, and creativeness of the whole. - Lisa Lanzi, Theatre Travels

  •          

    The two leads are compelling, and one should commend them for their ability to inhabit these two radically different women with wit and vuln - Justine Hall, SeeDoEatReview
