The Adelaide Fringe Smash!
‘Apartment living...mad, sad and dangerously funny’
C + 2, Chambers Street, Venue 34. 5 August to 31 August 2009
Peep through the keyhole at enemies, Tim and Diane. Watch them strip, shower, drink and dream together. Separately.
When animals are kept too close together, they go mad, running into walls, attacking each other, even eating each other. Yet humans, designed by nature as hunter/gatherers, ideally suited to roaming great distances, have been forced by the economic necessities of the modern world to live on top of each other in tiny apartments in conditions that would drive any other animal insane.
And we are no different from other animals.
In the new comedy, Unit 46, Australian playwright Mick Barnes shows us the insanity-inducing horrors of neighbours living on top of each other by combining two identical apartments into one. In the theatrical equivalent of a double exposure, two separate lives in two separate apartments play out simultaneously on one set, the counterpoint and symmetry of these lives providing hilarious insight into the the lonely animals that are city-dwelling woman and man.
Leof Kingsford‐Smith plays Tim and Lucy Miller plays Diane, whose lives, unbeknownst to each other, are so similar and intertwined. Directed by one of Australia’s busiest directors, Andrew Doyle.
