Come Away With Me to the End of the World 2016 single work drama

'Come Away with Me to the End of the World / invites you to listen in on a conversation between three people as they shape and reshape their physical and emotional selves.

'This self-imposed quest takes them through shifting landscapes and climates, snow-topped mountain peaks and erupting volcanoes.

'Structured as a series of intimate conversations, ranging from the prosaic to the beautiful, this production reaffirms Ranters Theatre as the masters of voyeuristic theatre. As we eavesdrop on these three figures, moments of eccentric dance and song erupt, and the disparity between their actual lives and their dreamed selves resonates intensely.

'Designed by visual artist Callum Morton, this surreal journey demands that you get up, tiptoe to the edge of your own world / and peer over the edge.'

2017 winner Dublin Theatre Festival — Best International Production Award
Intimacy 2010 single work drama 'The play begins with a man stepping out of his apartment into the chaos of a busy night. His aim: nothing more than to speak to strangers, to meet new people, to flirt with the simple differences any urban street may throw up. The result: an evening of human connection between people whose collision is as profound as it is happenstance.' Source: www.melbournefestival.com.au/ (Sighted 20/09/2010).
2011 shortlisted Victorian Premier's Literary Awards — Prize for Drama
