6 Green Room Award Nominations
Shortlisted - Patrick White Award 2012
cleverly realised... from camp drollery to discomforting intensity
THE AGE
sophisticated supernatural innercity cri de coeur
TIMEOUT
I love that theatre like this exists.
AussieTheatre
Two women sit inside a series of crisscrossing and concurrent realities; they sit next to a parkbench in Edinburgh Gardens. One in a tree. One in a house. The supernatural becomes the domestic, the uncanny, the everyday. There is no more cous cous in Piedemonte’s and post-natal depression is as horrifying as the sound of his bicycle as it slips down the driveway each morning.
If it were somewhere else it could be Notting Hill or Mitte. It’s North Fitzroy. Where bohemian meets bourgeoisie. Where nihilism meets the corner of St George Road and Scotchmer Street. Where I once saw Vince Collosimo and Chopper at the same time.
Running time 70 minutes, no interval
Warnings: Contains coarse language; references to sex, violence and drug use; supernatural horror
“MKA round out strongest season yet with surprisingly sophisticated supernatural innercity cri de coeur.”
ANDREW FUHRMANN (TIMEOUT)
“Triangle is immature and disappointing.”
THE AGE
