Synopsis: | Mike and Virginia. Both single. Both competitive. Both lecturers in film studies. Her specialty is romantic comedy, his is monster movies. She thinks he's an arrogant knuckle-dragger, he thinks she's a bitter, uptight cow. And he's not far wrong. So of course the very worst thing they could do is fall in love. Aaah . . . | |||||

Notes: | aka Danny Rule (Royal Court, London 18/10/93 | |||||
Synopsis: | Danny is deeply confused. Its December 1980, and the English eighteen year old has woken up in the middle of melbourne's unhinged modern art scene. The music of the newly dead John lennon forms a soundtrack, to which Danny may have just raped and murdered a stranger called lizzie. Then again, he may just have enjoyed his first 'rough route' in OZ. One thing is clear: it won't be his last. | |||||
