DISTANT BODIES
Out in the desert where the telescope dishes slowly feel up to the sky five people meet, they’ve met before.
Ed and Abi remember school, a couple of years ago now. They feel right, ‘meant to happen’, the sex… Well, it should get better.
Dianne and Joe remember coming out here ten years ago, before they were married, when small purple clouds dotted a huge empty sky. But now it’s getting dark and the walls are closing in.
Allan - Allan has come out here to die. He’s come out to die because he left then, half a lifetime ago, and it’s fair.
Honest, moving and often hilarious, Distant Bodies is a new black comedy written by emerging Melbourne playwright Barnaby Chiverton and directed by award winning director Noel Anderson. It's about how relationships change us - about innocence, hope and how we communicate. Bad sex occurs, and some role playing too, but only because they’re trying to connect.
Featuring Graham Murray as Allan, Samantha Morley as Dianne, Chris Broadstock as Joe, Shanti Pezet as Abi and Oliver Skrzypczynski as Eddy.
Lighting by 'Astral Glow' Amy Lever-Davidson and soundscaping by Claire Deak - google The Bridesmaid Claire Deak.
