Hallucinogenic dreams and the frisson of
terrorist fantasies.
With killing humour and an eye to the idiosyncratic, Gareth Ellis
delves into life
on the dark side and finds a pop-up panorama of technicoloured paranoia.
Ellis
conjures what he calls "an alternative present"
where cats and dogs are
dying mysteriously, the phone never stops ringing, and drugs are
on the menu
for breakfast, lunch and tea.
Winner of the 2004 Wal Cherry Award and the 2005 Malcolm Robertson
Prize,
A View of Concrete is a new play from a new voice in Australian
theatre.
A voice that signals that the world these people live in is just
across the road
from our own and you know them better than you think!
A View of Concrete, directed by Lauren Taylor (Sweet Staccato
Rising,
Love) is an unapologetic and witty take on the world inherited
by Generation
Next.
