Oasis, Oasis is a deeply poetic new play about two young women heartbroken and made lonely by the to-and-fro of life. Penelope and Maude see each other always on the morning train, the overloaded, underventilated slow, slow, slow 7.59. They remain strangers until the day the desert sands push them together and finally, dancing their grief, they cry out to each other a desperate 'hello'.
With dark humor and lyrical beauty, Oasis, Oasis provides a bit of shade from the baking desert sun.
Adam J. A. Cass has written more than 35 plays, which have been performed at venues all over Melbourne, interstate and internationally. His play I Love You, Bro won the writing award at the 2007 Melbourne Fringe Festival, and earned him a Green Room nomination (to be announced on April 20). He first worked with Katie Astrinakis and Sarah Hamiltion when they performed his play The Killing Fever (co-written by Lauren Bailey), which was staged at La Mama in July 2007. Sharing a perverse sense of humour and passion for uncompromisingly truthful, defiantly uncynical theatre, together they created Oasis, Oasis. It promises to be the first of many collaborations.
