SCARLETT’S ROOM by
ALEXANDER GIBBS
Presented by
CONUNDRUM PRODUCTIONS in
conjunction with Revolt Melbourne
Welcome to Ruby’s, a place where all your fantasies can came true. For a price. Jeremy isn’t quite
sure why he’s here- he’s just turned eighteen and he’s never even kissed a girl. When he meets
Scarlett, he thinks he’s found the girl of his dreams. But he hasn’t spent time in her room yet.
Scarlett ’s Room is a comedy-drama that explores the classic themes of coming-of-age,
friendship and loyalty. It just happens to be set in a brothel.
Scarlett's Room is the first full-length Melbourne production for newly relocated Sydney playwright
and director Alexander Gibbs. Alexander's new Melbourne-based production company
Conundrum Productions is proud to present Scarlett's Room, starring a cast of six talented
Melbourne actors including Hannah Gott, fresh off the success of 21 and Nick Enright’s Good
Works, and newcomer Sean Paisley Collins.
Scarlett’s Room is based on the real-life experiences of its writer-director. “Yes, there really is a
Scarlett,” Gibbs says. “And a lot of Scarlett’s Room is indeed based on true events. Of course, I’ve
had to change a few details… but as for what’s fact and what’s fiction, I’m not telling!”
The play was written as a comedy but has many dramatic elements. “More than anything, I’ve tried
to make it a snapshot of real life,” Gibbs says. “And real life doesn’t follow a particular genre – it’s
funny as often as it’s heartbreaking. That’s what I’m hoping to convey with Scarlett’s Room… and
with this brilliant and dedicated cast, not only is a time in my life very close to my heart being
recreated before my eyes, a poignant and uplifting story is being told for the first time.”
