Renowned director, Wolf Heidecker has created a production that magnificently conveys the brutal atmosphere of Germany in the 1930s.Theatre lovers will be thrilled to witness Condello’s latest offering in his inimitable writing style that has previously received the following praise.

‘It feels like the sort of play Shakespeare or Seneca himself might have written; the horror and violence contrasted with lofty, stirring verse’ - John Bell, Bell Shakespeare Company

‘Condello is Shakespearean in stature.’ - Simon Piening, Melbourne Stage.

‘Condello is, without doubt, a great writer’ - Catherine Lambert, Herald Sun.

‘It’s simply as if Condello decided to write a Shakespearean tragedy and then went ahead and did it. Theatre of this imaginative ambition is rare anywhere’- Alison Croggon, Theatre Notes.

“(Condello’s) language has moments of radiance…modern ideas are beautifully expressed here with a strongly feminist understanding of the limitations of a woman’s life at the tim” - Liza Dezfouli, Australianstage.com.au.
