'A country highway. A greasy takeaway joint. Two sisters. One of them left, one stayed behind. One chose chaos, the other control. One chose sex, the other - food. Enter Hakan Leventoglu, aka Hassan the Beautiful.
'Kate Champion is riding the wave of a decade of brilliant work across theatre, opera and dance, notably with her celebrated company Force Majeure.Steve Rodgers is a theatrical marvel who writes and acts with equal aplomb. Their work meets here within the classic architecture of great drama: feuding sisters, a charming man and the possibility of transformation.
'The sisters battle it out, trying to make sense of who they were, who they are and whether they can ever allow each other to be something else.' (Source: Belvoir St Theatre website)

'From a ramshackle hut by the water, Kingsley forages a living with his young son, Tiger. Times are tough and money in short supply, but with good humour, invention and resilience they make the best of it, bundled together as family. One night, Kingsley brings home the beguiling Jude, who unwittingly changes three lives overnight. Jude seems happy enough to enjoy Tiger and Kingsley's attention, and let history slip by. History does, though, have a habit of catching up with you. A warm, affectionate and moving story of the glimpsing of freedom and the weight of the things that shackle us.' (Publisher's blurb)
