An explosive dark comedic drama about three generations of an Italian American family preparing for the death of their matriarch, Anthropocene Play Company now bring Melbourne audiences the world premiere of 7 Captiva Road.

A loud and brash family with a dark sense of humour, they are a group that delight in breaking each other’s balls, but with the death of their beloved Nonna tensions rise and long-held secrets spill out. Some relationships, if they survive, will never be the same.

Set in New England, 2004, 7 Captiva Road is a riveting tale of generational violence, denial, and abuse. Written by executive producer and writer Andrea Ciannavei (The Sopranos, Mayans M.C, Borgia and upcoming Netflix drama The Corps), it was first developed at Labyrinth Theatre Company New York under Artistic Director Philip Seymour Hoffman.
