two days has october | special offer!


There are only two performances left of this challenging, chilling and thought-provoking play. Ian Wilding, writer of some of the most acclaimed plays recently seen on Australian stages (The Water Carriers witty and compelling - The Age & Quack A rollicking night out - SMH), takes a darkly satirical look at the life of seemingly perfect married couple Angela and Tim. She an interior designer, he a pilot, they both begin to unravel when Dez knocks on their door, claiming to have had a relationship with Angela.

This intrusion shatters their comfortable lifestyle and as paranoia takes grip, they engage a private eye called Dick to get to the bottom of it.

Dick gets there fast and takes them all with him.

 Cathy Kohlen (Angela) and David Passmore (Dez)
"And we had more than that. Lovers? Is that going too far? I don’t know. I don’t think so. We sat on the edge of the bed and talked
and laughed. I didn’t know she was married."


Cathy Kohlen (Angela), Ron Kofler (Tim) and Ruby the dog
"We are good people."


Dan Walls (Dick) and David Passmore (Dez)
"You’re scared. Now it’s all caught up with you. Look at you. You should get some fresh air. You don’t look well. Which of
your personalities am I talking to at the moment?"


Ron Kofler (Tim)
"Going to get the old boy’s rugby fifteen together and stand on my head until I agree with
your version of the world?"
