It’s a defining moment in history. Like the Russian Revolution or the world wars. Great plays will be written about this; mark my words.
And you think they’ll be about the upper middle class reading novels in a North Coast holiday house?
Maybe as a satire?
As the first lockdown of March 2020 hits Australia, Irene Nicholson, a beloved icon of the Australian stage, takes her son and new boyfriend to her family’s property along the Bellingen river. But as beautiful as their own quarantine appears on the outside it soon devolves into a crushing routine of bad postmodern backyard theatre, love triangles and the usual middle class malaise. As tensions mount within their little bubble; Irene’s family, her profession and the country will be changed forever.
This original adaptation of Chekhov’s most beloved play is a funny, angry and urgent reflection on Australian art in the post-Covid years.
Director Saro Lusty-Cavallari
