Casting Couch Productions presents
“Catharsis”
by Greg Eccleston
"A modern tale: about loss, grief and love as redemptionÂ…"
@ TAP Gallery. Level 1, 278 Palmer Street, Darlinghurst
June 4th to 21st, 2003. Wednesday - Saturday @ 8:00 p.m.
BRADLEY: (Beat) Do you believe in fate, Miranda?
MIRANDA: No, I donÂ’t. But sometimes fate doesnÂ’t give me the choice.
Miranda is not having a good weekend. She broke up with her fiancé on her birthday. Her friend was hit by a car & killed. Dealing with her losses, she finds herself at the scene of one of her favourite childhood memories. That is where she meets Bradley.
Bradley appears content. His footy team has just made the Grand Final. He is with his best mate & he has a cold beer. But his life is a constant struggle with the hidden losses of his past & the grief that he still carries.
“Catharsis” explores several challenging issues. These include death, infidelity, impotence, estrangement, alcoholism, sexual disease & rape. It asks us; Is it true that “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger”? Seamlessly blending comedy & drama, it is at once thought-provoking & witty, profound & sombre, yet ultimately uplifting.
Greg EcclestonÂ’s début play “Catharsis” is an engrossing & unique new Australian show.
