A new Australian play in one act about a family whose members are irresistibly drawn to a young guard employed to monitor their safety.
As the audience departed the auditorium one woman good naturedly asked an usher could she explain the play. It was a fair question and I suspect one that most of us wondered about as 'Every Breath' unfolded. Students of Greek mythology probably got the point earlier but one monologue near the end provided a few clues.
Otherwise words fail me.
Four of the five cast members disrobe during the play and all five engage in sexual activity at various stages.
It's been a bit of a critical cause celebre.
ReplyDeleteHave you been following that?
Had you, before you went?
Probably I would never have gone to this show, but after I read the SMH review I counted myself positively deterred.
marcellous - we subscribed well before any comment about the play emerged. My companion had warned me about the critical response but I haven't read any of it first hand.
