Ride and Fourplay

Darlinghurst Theatre Company

'Ride and Fourplay' is a double bill of plays by Jane Bodie.

In the first play a couple awakes in a bed one morning naked and strangers to each other. Neither can recall the evening just passed nor how they came to be in bed together. The ensuing conversation takes them on a journey of self discovery.

The second play is also a journey of self discovery this time of two men and two women with interlocking connections. This piece is performed on a completely bare stage with no props. The cast engages in conversation with each mostly speaking directly to the audience.

Two interesting works, the second play is the more satisfying with its clearer resolutions.
