BETWEEN TWO WAVES
|
| Studio One UNSW
| 25th April - 29th April, 2017 | Written by Simon Stephens | Directed by Michael Booker | Produced by Keri Tsaoucis About the Play
Last year with Don’s Party, NUTS took a long hard look at the Australian Dream. Williams’ piece explored the disparity between social and individual fulfillment and the psychological effect on those who chose life, home ownership and the security of nine-to-five over what the truly want for themselves. For their generation the simplicity, stability and prosperity of a humble, hard working life was too good an offer to refuse. Almost fifty years later, Between Two Waves shows a vision of the future that is not so simple. The optimism for the future that was enjoyed by our parents and theirs can often feel a distant luxury when there is no way of knowing what that future will look like.
This uncertainty is told in the story of a young couple, Fiona and Daniel. For Fiona, a psychologist turned photographer turned civil secretary; certainty for the future proves ever elusive as she struggles to become the person she can be for the rest of her life. For Daniel, a climatologist with what he believes to be a factual grasp on how the world is ending, the notion of a bright future seems selfish and futile. Premiering at Sydney’s Griffin Theatre in 2012, Between Two Waves contains an urgent message about our time and place. Come and have a long hard look at yourself. |
