AbstractHistoryArchive Description
'Set in a suburban Australian household, The Pyramid is a tragi-comedy that addresses the consequences of repressed sexuality and thwarted dreams.
Presented in three monologues, it delves into the lives of Kate, a housewife who is a closeted lesbian and about to come out; Jack, her husband, who is ignorant of his wife's true identity; and Pete, their gay Scottish Terrier, who sees everything and knows more than he should.
All is not what it seems, and three lives are changed forever in one moment of innocence and betrayal.'
