SPOONS by Damian Callinan
 

Damian Callinan returns to the character narrative genre that has earned him three nominations for the Most Outstanding Show at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. 'Spoons' blends Callinan’s skilled character work, with dark humour and pathos in a moving portrait of an octogenarian’s fight to save his dead wife’s souvenir teaspoon collection. This one-man play with cutlery is playing at Arts Centre Melbourne, from March 26th - April 5th

    There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.
