The Absurd Season
The Absurd Season of three one-act plays of absurdist theatre. Directed by Robyn Donnelly.
Inertia by James McLaughlin
The action takes place in the lounge of Tim and Jack’s flat. Tim good-naturedly attempts to help Jack see the best of things, while Jack insists on helping Tim to “wake up and smell the coffee”. Which way will the tables turn? A comedy.
Spilt Milk by Claire Ahuriri The action takes place on the pages of a script. Chaos ensues when the director spills coffee on the script and characters.
Turn by James McLaughlin
The action takes place in an indeterminate place in an indeterminate time. The play highlights the cyclical nature of life, and how we, the participants, repeat our actions without learning from previous experience. A comedy.
Performances: Thursday October 4 to Saturday October 13 at 8pm. Sunday performance at 4pm. Performances at TheatreWorks, Recreation Drive, Birkenhead.
Tickets: $20 and $15 concession.
