Two short plays about love, loss, reconciliation and acceptance. Kevin Nemeth has shaped his domestic and everyday material into delicate,  profound and gently funny explorations of human nature. Set in regional Victoria, Crapbox is narrated by a recently widowed man who has discovered that his ‘tree change’ home is haunted. The tension between his blunt pragmatism and the need to deal with his situation leads him on a surprising journey. In Early Morning, a couple wake too early and are beset by anxieties and paradoxes as they lie in bed – hoping that the other one will get up and make the coffee.

These works lovingly reveal the rubble of life journeys  – negotiations with partners, relationships with children and aging parents, physical challenges  – and the ricketty but enduring structures that are built from that rubble.
