A lyrical exploration of dislocation and the need to connect, told through the experience of a father, mother and their teenage daughter in the course of one life-changing day.
Tom Holloway’s surprising and seriously inventive new play is a funny, moving and sometimes shocking ride through the interiors of the mind. The play confronts head on the impact of depression and isolation in regional Australia.
Red Sky Morning’s form is as challenging as its content. The play continues Holloway’s trademark combination of linguistic experimentation and a robust Australian vernacular. An extended development process has enabled the writer to push the envelope of theatrical communication – to experiment with a musical, overlapping form ideally suited to our noise-filled, attention-pulling world.
“PLAY OF THE YEAR...succeeds on every level... Tom Holloway's script is tight - hilarious and frequently heart-rending - and performances from David Whiteley, Sarah Sutherland and Erin Dewar are pitch-perfect... a complex, urgent production that deserves to live on.” John Bailey, Sunday Age
“Breathtaking...testament to one of the rising stars of Australian theatre.” Martin Ball, The Age
