After a decade under siege a city has finally fallen. But ten years
of rage have taken their toll. For an officer returning from this
epic overseas campaign, it is time to put the horrors of battle
behind him, and to take back his place at the family table. For the
officer's wife, it is time to take her revenge...Tom Holloway's
'epic-in-miniature' is inspired by Aeschylus' Agamemnon and a truly
contemporary Australian landscape - with breathtaking results.
Red Sky Morning is a witty, moving and lyrical account of a
day-in-the-life of a conflicted family and examines depression and
isolation in regional Australia. The play explores a family who are
unable to deal with the mother's alcohol addiction and have stopped
communicating with each other. Internationally acclaimed
playwright, Tom Holloway, weaves the characters' inner thoughts,
experimenting with a musical overlapping form and a robust
Australian vernacular.
"Together we have something and share a passion that other people
will never understand" Mark and Angela are a father and daughter
grappling with a painful past and fragile future. Tonight, an
innocent evening of ice cream and DVDs derails quickly into
dangerous territory in this chilling new story about a father who
loved too deeply. "This is a play about love. A love misplaced. A
complicated, tainted, socially unacceptable love, but a deep, rich
and painful love all the same. The play demands a holding back of
judgement and the engagement with the possibilities of such a
thing." - Caroline Steinbeis, Director
On a simple stage - a dreamed-up version of the Australian backyard
- five actors tease out the story of a father and his daughter.
Blurring character and perspective, their fluid accounts morph
seamlessly between observation and intention, postulation and
provocation, cajolement and confession. By the story's end, a dream
of modern life has become a searing tragedy of leadership and
sacrifice. Inspired by Euripides' Iphigenia in Aulis, Love Me
Tender is formally inventive, rich in beauty and emotional power.
