Unreliable Bodies 2010 single work drama '"Unreliable Bodies" - a portrayal of private lives in urban Brisbane and our contemporary fixation with our bodies (health, fitness, diet and looks). "Unreliable Bodies" is a suite of short plays about, well... bodies; about our rage at how unreliable and contrary they can be; about how we lose control of them, how they appear to others, how they interact with other bodies, how we abuse them, how our anxieties about them overwhelm us, how their boundaries become blurred in an age of transplants and cosmetic surgery, and finally how, perhaps, we transcend them.'
