The Second Woman 2016 single work drama

'In an epic feat of endurance, Nat Randall performs a single scene inspired by John Cassavetes’ 1977 film Opening Night, on repeat for 24 continuous hours. Starring opposite Randall are 100 different men who range in age, background and acting ability. Each scene is captured on camera and projected live alongside the staged performance. Through the repetition of this intimate encounter, The Second Woman explores the complex interplay between identity, performance, gender, emotion, cinema and reality.' (Production summary)
2019 nominated Helpmann Awards for Performing Arts in Australia — Best Production of a Play Adelaide Festival production.
