The Modern International Dead | 14 - 24 Nov

The very kind Ben Fon came by yesterday to document our dress rehearsal of The Modern International Dead. Please have a look at some of the images for this punchy ride through the world of international peacekeeping as told by Australians on the front line.

Playwright Damien Millar, who can be heard talking to Richard Watts on RRRFM SmartArts Thursday 15 November at 10.30am with director David Passmore, also has these kind words to say about our upcoming production of his award-winning play.

Part of the contemporary story of theatre in Australia, like the story of all of us in Australia, is about finding who we are in the context of an ever shrinking international world. Refugees are a major part of this story in which distant conflicts can hit so near and so toughly. 

I love that this production of my play is helping refugees so practically. It’s an act of decency by Act-O-Matic 3000 that far outshines the material of the play itself, which, like all plays, is grubby, fallible and quick to find gags in the most terrible of circumstances.
