DISTANT BODIES

From the people that brought you Patrick Marber’s acclaimed ‘Closer’ and Caryl Churchill’s ‘A Number’ (It’s a shame this splendid production is getting such a short run – four stars – The Age), Evaporating Sun Theatre now brings you the world premiere… 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 came 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. Distant Bodies is a brilliant, moving and often hilarious new black comedy about how we connect. It’s a play about innocence, hope and curiosity with just a dash of bad sex and role play. Written by emerging Melbourne playwright Barnaby Chiverton and directed by award winning director Noel Anderson, the play features… Graham Murray as Allan, Samantha Morley as Dianne, Chris Broadstock as Joe, Shanti Pezet as Abi and Oliver Skrzypczynski as Eddy. Lighting by Amy Lever-Davidson and soundscaping by Claire Deak of The Bridesmaid.
