Where Words Once Were
The Space, a branch of Fifth Business Theatre Company, are excited to announce the South Australian premiere of WHERE WORDS ONCE WERE by Finegan Kruckemeyer. Kruckemeyer is an Adelaide-based playwright who’s some 101 commissioned plays have been performed all over the world, translated into eight languages and won him numerous awards.
Set in a dystopian time where language is rationed, a sentence can get you sentenced and the silent are rising, our young hero Orhan discovers that a word can change the world. This is the story of a City which allows finite words, a boy possessing few, a girl afforded none. Forbidden from meeting, they meet. Forbidding from questioning the rules, of course, as heroes, heroines, teenagers, they do.
