The One/Home Country
 

Sydney Fringe Festival: Home Country + The One

Will a millennial hot mess keep running from herself? Can a Gen X feminist survive the Tinder trash fire? New works by Sydney playwrights Stephanie Reeves and Mel Jensen.

Little Cup Productions presents the World premiere of two one-act plays at the Sydney Fringe Festival.

HOME COUNTRY
By Stephanie Reeves
Directed by Glen Hamilton and Romney Hamilton

Dot a British woman in search of answers escapes to the faraway land of Oz. At a campsite overlooking Uluru she is forced to share her tent with a grumpy stranger and amidst the ancient landscape an unlikely friendship is formed as both women are confronted with the past. A comedy drama 'Home Country' explores what it means to truly find home.

THE ONE
Written and directed by Mel Jensen

Think you know how men really talk to women online? With an average of one Australian woman dying every week at the hands of her intimate parter Tinder is more than a minefield of dick pics catfish and Andrew Tate fans; it can lead to murder. In 'The One' Mel Jensen lays bare her dating experiences blends verbatim conversations with Sydney men and explores what it’s like to date the not-so-nice guys lurking in our digital midst.

    Hamlet | Sh!tfaced Shakespeare
    This is not your dear old Grandmother’s Hamlet, it is your drunk Uncle’s, who remembers every Monty Python episode by heart.
  • Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
    A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
  • Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    Retrograde | Melbourne Theatre Company
    The script is based on a true story, although this dramatisation can feel somewhat contrived, with important assertions not interrogated, and credibility stretched as a result.
  • The Glass Menagerie | Melbourne Theatre Company
    This Glass Menagerie is top shelf, and while blessed with an extraordinary cast and the highest of production values, it will not meet with everyone’s measure of how this play should be staged.
  • The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
    In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
