Notes: | - | |||||
| Somewhere in a busy city, a Man wakes to discover he has forgotten his life. He has no memory of the past and no clear sense of the present. He is concussed. Or so he is told by a doctor - - who may also be his partner. Now there are flashes of something. Hunger, mourning, sexual appetite. . . Bob Dylan? But why isn't he in hospital? And what of the voices, the Blackberry, the brothers? The hammer? A comedy with attitude, Concussion explodes a simple conceit and scatters its achingly funny and filthy tales of the city like shrapnel. | |||||

Notes: | Adapted from the novel-I am The Messenger-by Marcus Zusak | |||||
| Meet Ed Kennedy - underage cabdriver, pathetic cardplayer, and useless at romance. He lives in a shack with his coffee-addicted dog, the Doorman, and he's hopelessly in love with his best friend, Audrey. His life is one of peaceful routine and incompetence, until he inadvertently stops a bank robbery. That's when the first Ace arrives. That's when Ed becomes the messenger. . .Chosen to care, he makes his way through town helping and hurting (when necessary), until only one question remains: Who's behind Ed's mission? The Messenger is a darkly humorous, thought provoking and moving story that reminds us how difficult it is to find our place in the world. | |||||

Synopsis: | There is a riot going on outside. Two men are locked in a cell together. Their crimes are unknown and their sentences are uncertain. The play explores the complex relationships established when two very damaged souls come to care very deeply for each other. Within the darkness of this play exists a healing force of love and honour. It is a deeply emotional play that acknowledges the roles and postures that men adopt to survive, but plunges past all that to the core of confusion, need, and loneliness that boils beneath the surface. | |||||
