"It’s stunning in almost every aspect. Magical. Memorable.
And mighty real."

REALITY IS FOR LOSERS
From the creators of The Black Swan of Trespass comes another
tale of blackly comic absurdity, proving once again that the borders
between fantasy and truth are insubstantial. Gerture and Abalone,
orphaned by a freak pruning accident, have retreated into a world
of their own fashioning where reality is what they make it. Abalone’s
dream is to win the local Eisteddfod with their production of Macbeth
- first prize, a one way ticket to Moscow. Gerture pines for her
lost love Ian. But try as they might, their lives are inescapably
entwined.
Skipping from erotic games to bleak prophecy and hilarious mischief,
The Eisteddfod heralds its makers - Australia’s young
laureates of suburban surrealism.
The Eisteddfod received the Green Room Award for Best Independent
Production plus five other nominations following its premiere. It
has since had acclaimed seasons at PS122 and Ontological-Hysteric
Theatre in New York. Shivering with the febrile rhythms of writer
Lally Katz and deftly directed by Chris Kohn in an immersive design,
The Eisteddfod stalks a fleet-footed course down uncharted
corridors of the psyche, always one step ahead of your expectations.
