Rogue Projects: Pear-Shaped Staged Development Reading
4 November 2023 @ 7:00 pm - 7:30 pm AEDT
In a rare opportunity to peek behind the curtain of the play writing process, an updated draft of the new Australian play ‘Pear-Shaped’ will be staged as an in-progress reading.
Pear-Shaped is a deliciously dark comedy about growing up, growing down, and everything in between.
23-year-old Frankie is struggling with their graduating design project. Not only is their director crazy, they’ve also been allocated an eerily personal childhood story to work with – ‘Alice in Wonderland’.
But when their sister Kayla drops off an old box of costumes, Frankie is sent spiraling down a rabbit hole of memories they’d rather forget…
Adapting elements of Lewis Carroll’s classic story in an entirely original way, Pear-Shaped celebrates the magic and messiness of siblingship.
Following the Friday performance, drama teachers and students are invited to join writers Miranda Middleton and Ziggy Resnick for an inspiring educational discussion about the processes of artistic collaboration.
