What's On

Draw Two
 

Back in her hometown, a woman stands in the ‘fifteen items or less’ line at the local Woolies. There, an old (now-hot) school friend, Kieran, mistakes her as Mia. And she doesn’t correct him.

The thing is, Mia is her identical twin who recently died, leaving behind a son, Lucas.

Everyone has a 20-something crisis. Hers is a choice between staying in Melbourne with an ambitious girlfriend, becoming the legal guardian of a five-year-old, or something entirely different…

If Kieran can’t tell the difference, does it really matter? At the end of the day, where does she end and Mia begin?

Draw Two, is a sharp, poignant and funny monologue about mistaken identities, Neapolitan ice cream, sunburnt shoulders, sharks in bathtubs and beating little kids at Uno. It’s also about how we come to terms with loss and sudden motherhood, and what it truly takes to care.

    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.
