NIDA STUDIO

Being Friends

by Robert Holman
Directed by Tommy Murphy
Designed by Luke Ede

"...a touching exploration of desire and debate about pacifism...Holman is a criminally underrated dramatist."
The Daily Telegraph, London.

This is a Chair

by Caryl Churchill
Directed by Holly Radcliffe
Designed by Eliza McLean

Our social landscape. A haunting impression.

The Eumenides

by Aeschylus, a new version by Ted Hughes
Directed by Steven Rassios
Designed by Danielle Kelly & David Benjafield

An ancient story of curses, lust for power, torn alliances and revenge, in a very direct, simple, happening-in-the-kitchen style of writing that hits you between the eyeballs.

PROGRAM B

Directors: Kate Wild | Andrew Davidson | Luke Cowling

Life Story

Text by Tennessee Williams, music by Thomas Ades.
Directed by Andrew Davidson
Designed by Jacob Nash and Arnavaz Lindsay

A fugitive female. A sacrificial stud. A brief encounter. Williams' archetypal characters flash before our eyes in a morning-after, face-in-the-mirror, sobered up reflection of life and love.

One More Wasted Year

by Christophe Pellet, translated by Martin Crimp
Directed by Luke Cowling
Designed by Michael Agosta

How deep is the valley we must descend before we can begin to contemplate being 'over the hill'?

Chicago

by Sam Shepard
Directed by Kate Wild
Designed by Tobhiyah Feller

Sometimes the bathtub is the safest place to hide.
