Someday We'll Find It
An experimental work interested in the complexities of attention in an age of screens. 'Someday We'll Find It' asks what it means to construct digital worlds as the physical world crumbles. With a script generated via Google searches, it is like a trashy, lo-fi Beckett. Presented by award-winning theatre-makers Karla Livingstone-Pardy and Adelaide's Zachary Sheridan, and winner of the Best Theatre Award for Melbourne Fringe 2023.
"SEE. THIS. SHOW. You won't know what you're going into, and you might not know what you've left. I laughed and cried, sometimes at the same time." Judge's Pick, Melbourne Fringe
"This is supremely clever and accomplished theatre-making." Alyson Campbell, dramaturg
“Tender, brutal, strange.” Kat Henry, director
"Rich, satisfying, funny, moving and delightfully absurd." Peta Murray, playwright
