RideOn Theatre presents the Australian premiere of
DEBRIS
By Dennis Kelly
Directed by Tanya Goldberg
“Jet black comedy and gut-wrenching poetry … its sheer energy and quirky originality are thrilling.” The Times
Staring AFI winning actress Bojana Novakovic
and Lenah Valley Under 13s Power-Walking Champion Thomas Campbell
Like mushrooms, babies grow in rubbish. They construct themselves from rotting leaves, coke cans, syringes and empty packets of monster munch and wait for their parents to find them. I know this to be true because I found one.
As Michael and Michelle's home-life disintegrates, the siblings have no choice but to create a world of their own, with whatever comes to hand. DEBRIS follows their mutinous path through a rubbish-strewn reality, side-stepping animals, alcoholics and pedophiles. As hilarious as it is terrifying, this part kidsÂ’ dress-up game, part story time nightmare chronicles a world where mothers die in childbirth, babies feed on rotting plant matter while dad watches telly and God rolls a fag.
Side-splittingly black, DEBRIS is a furious cry from the bottom of the heap brought to you by the team behind B SharpÂ’s 2004 sell-out season of LOVEPLAY.
The play opened at The Latchmere Theatre in April 2003. Since then it has toured to Edinburgh and been revived and staged throughout Europe.
“One of the most imaginative pieces of writing I have seen (this year)”
