Top of PageBumming With Jane
Synopsis:
Patrick and Jane are hitting 30, madly in love, madly in lust and occasionally just plain mad. All the furniture except the couch has been sold to the pawnbroker, they live on a diet of cheap wine, baked beans and whatever they can find in the dumpsters behind their local supermarket, and they take it in turns to hold down a part time job. Life is great. But nothing lasts. Inspired by the poetry of Charles Bukowski and the modern Australian city, Bumming With Jane is a beguiling debut play from Tahli Corin, about love, poverty and the fleeting joy of choosing to live a free and ragged-arse life.
